How do I uninstall programs not in Control Panel?

August 12th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Some time ago I had a huge problems with adware, spyware, and a trojan. 3 of the programs I used for diagnostics and removal were Hijackthis, DSS (Decker Security System), and Smitfraudfix (the program not the malware). None of them are listed under the Start Menu along with an uninstall tab, nor are they populated under add/remove new software. I want to remove the whole programs not just the shortcuts so I can reclaim the memory. Can anyone help this computer moron?

      Go to C:\Program Files, and find the folder of these programs (delete the folders).

      They might be listed under the name of the maker of the program, so be sure to check that too.

      Hi

      If you go to My Computer you will see the C drive. Double click on that.
      Then look for an file called ‘Program Files’. Double click that. Next look for the program and double click the folder. Look for uninstall. If there is none, just go back and delete the folder.

      Thats it! :)

      Find their directories under the Program Files directory and delete them. Be careful :)

      You can do a search to find where they are located, more than likely there located in c/program files. Remove them from there, with a right click, delete.
