Major problem with Add/Remove...

Hey there,

My wife's PC has been acting up kinda strange...almost like it had a virus or some sort of malware on it....

So I downloaded a new version of BitDefender on a 30 day trial, installed it and began setting it up...

Then the PC started hanging and I tried re-starting several times.

Finally I started to Uninstall the program in case something when wrong in the installation process.....this also seemed to stall the PC

Now, I can't even find the BitDefender on the list of Add/Remove programs although it's still on the PC.

To make matters worse I can't restore to a previous state using System Restore...

PC is running XP with Microsoft 2007

Are there any other utilities out there that will enable me to Add/Remove programs?

It's driving me crazy....

Please help...

Regards

Greg

 

do you know where the services are in the control ckeck it see if bitdefender in there and disable it and look in your startup program under system config and if tou see a check there,uncheck it and reboot the computer..

 

:wave Welcome to Major Geeks! :major
There are several good 3rd party uninstallers:
Revo (a Major Geeks favorite) http://www.majorgeeks.com/Revo_Uninstaller_d5706.html
Free Uninstaller http://www.majorgeeks.com/Free_Uninstaller_d5763.html
My Uninstaller http://www.majorgeeks.com/MyUninstaller_d5912.html
Remove It (not to be confused with the virus tool RemoveIT Pro) http://www.majorgeeks.com/RemoveIt_d3839.html
Well, there's four different uninstallers.... they're all free.... Good Luck!
I hope these help!

Hey dlb,

Thanks for the list...

I tried Revo and another one, but they couldn't find the software either...

I finally tried to re-install Bitdefender and it found itself (weird). It then enabled me to un-install correctly and to re-install.

Hopefully that sorts the problem out....I'll monitor the PC over the next coupls of days to see what happens...

Regards
