( Attached ) | | Junior Member with 5 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Experience: Beginner | | Okay the Microsoft's Install Cleanup Tool did NOT work becuase as stated above, it does not show up on the uninstall list. I went into safe mod... and I cant delete it. I go to delte it, it says it's in use by nodshex.dll. So I click search on my task manager look it up and it says that program is in use by my OS. So I kill Explorer.exe and guess what? It's still in use by my task manager! It attaches itself to every file so I cant delete it. | | Distinguished Member with 3,336 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Roseburg, OR USA Experience: Intermediate | | | | | Junior Member with 5 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Experience: Beginner | | Yeah I also have tried that.

#11 | You will find that these AV things burrow themselves deeply in the registry and the start-up sequences. To begin with, hit ALT-CTRL-DEL and see whether you can see the AV program running there; if it does, kill it. Then, in regedit, search for all instances with the name of nod32 and delete them all, left and right window; that can be a lot of entries. As last run msconfig, check everything there for that *$@# ! and untick them . Then re-boot and, as it will not be running any more if you did that before well, you can erase its folder in \Prgram Files.
Davec's unlocker: you say "Yeah I also have tried that. It's the problem when I try to close it,..." This should not ask for closing something; check the way-of-proceeding on that page. Find the program folder, right-click, if necessary kill the process, unlock it and then erase the whole thing. Run msconfig and regedit and reboot. |  THIS THREAD HAS EXPIRED.
