   | Member with 87 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Experience: Beginner | | Spysweeper uninstallation I'm sorry, if I repeated this thread. Actually I've posted the thread but can't see it. so thought why not repeat the thread regarding a problem in uninstallation on spy sweeper.
The message I get is ...
Error: Messages File "c\programfiles\webroot\webrootsecurity\unins000.msg" is missing. Please correct the problem or obtain a new copy of the program"
How should I uninstall this program. Any help please! |  | Distinguished Member with 4,901 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Birmingham, England | | The usual advice in these situations is to reinstall the program, (assuming you have it on CD or still have the .exe file if it was downloaded). If a reinstall is successful it should, hopefully, replace the missing file and allow you to uninstall in the normal way.
If that isn't possible you could try Revo Uninstaller; http://www.revouninstaller.com/ If you do try it, be sure to read all the instructions carefully. This program does make changes to the Registry so you need to be aware of what it's doing. I have only ever used it on its 'safest' setting.

No use....the same sort of message pops up on the screen. | | | Distinguished Member with 4,901 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Birmingham, England | | No luck with Revo, or did it seem too scary to use? | | | Member with 87 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Experience: Beginner | | Revo didn't even show the spysweeper. The problem is that I couldn't find this software in Add/Remove programs. Revo simply shows the programs that are in Add/Remove programs section. |  | Distinguished Member with 5,239 posts. | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Super Bowl & Stanley Cup Experience: ,The Jimi Hendrix | | | | | | Member with 87 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Experience: Beginner | | I tried it too .....
