So I Was Thinking Last Night About Malware And Revo Uninstaller.Sorry If This Is A Stupid Question,But COULD Revo Uninstaller Remove All Traces Of Malware?
Like MS Antispyware Or Personal Antivirus?
I’m Pretty Sure A Rouge Anti-Virus Will Be Located In Control Panel,But You Cant "Remove It" All The Way.

i suppose its possible, but dont think it would,its mainly for left over bits of program, not something as nasty as malwware can be. malwarebytes anti-malware will though.

i dont think any single program will remove all traces of malware… i use alot of things.. from yahoo ca anti-spy to spybot to ad-aware and avast and use malwarebytes anti malware..

Well it can. Well that’s what i think but not so sure because a lot of rouge product victims is really having hard time to remove them and end up with system restore remove them.

Well… it certainly is possible if the malware itself has COMPLETELY embedded itself inside of a program, but Revo-uninstaller (which I use everyday) has a hard time with "plucking" something strange from your registry or temp files… but works wonderfully with uninstalling a program, so, yeah, if the malware is in an actual program then sure… it probably would work fine. As your program was being deleted, so would the malware code….If, (and it’s a BIG if), you try it this way, disable all your restore points and turn off system restore before you try to delete it.. As you know if you’ve ever paid attention, Revo-uninstaller creates a restore point before it works so if you have malware in the program, it just copied itself…
I would highly recommend removing the malware some other way… Revo-uninstaller was meant primarily for removing programs and should be used as such but.. YES, I suppose it would be possible if all the variables were right….
GOOD LUCK !!!
