    Hi all,

    I recently went through the malware removal procedure from the forums, and am in the finishing stages of it. I was told that I can uninstall the programs used (i.e., RogueKiller, HitManPro, TDSSKiller, etc.), but I can't find any way to uninstall them. They're not in the programs listed when I got to Control Panel and use the uninstall programs. How do I uninstall these programs? I'm hesitant to continue on with the final steps without first going through the initial steps. Any advice is much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Two of those programs, RogueKiller and TDSSKiller, are stand alone applications.
    They don't install anything.
    Send them to the recycle bin if you want. Better idea is to keep them on a USB stick in case you need them again. Be sure to check for updates to these tools from time to time tho...

    HitManPro has an option to install or run once. If you chose the install it should have an entry in Programs and Features. Did you elect to install it, or to run once?

    Okay, thank you for the help. I'm not sure what I chose with HitManPro, but I'm thinking I just ran it once since it doesn't show up either. I'll probably just keep all of them on a USB drive as you recommended.
