Uninstall PCKeeper Antivirus
from Windows

Hi! Could you please explain why can't I uninstall PCKeeper Antivirus from my computer? I though that I've removed it a long time before but it keeps launching in the background of the system. What's the matter? How should I Uninstall PCKeeper Antivirus one and for all?PCKeeper Antivirus is a utility for achieving and maintaining PC's security. It does protect PC's operating system and initiate software updating automatically, so it means that this tool will keep your computer secure and optimized. However, there are various reasons due to which people decide to uninstall PCKeeper Antivirus and face some difficulties in doing this.

Note that it's not enough to click on the program's icon and then 'delete' button in order to uninstall it. PCKeeper Antivirus and similar software initiate some changes in registries and a background controller service. Consequently, various relevant files are dropped into registries, as well as a bunch of supporting processes may be run in the background of the system. The problem is that those files are not removed alongside the main executable of PCKeeper Antivirus. They have to be eliminated separately one-by-one. Of course, you may leave them lurking on the system. However, the more useless files are kept, the less free space is left on the system. Besides, such files may cause registry errors, crashes of other software, and similar issues. To prevent this from happening, a full removal of programs, including PCKeeper Antivirus is required. This can be done manually but don't forget how risky manual registry cleaning is. A better solution would be to launch [rev id="Perfect Uninstaller"] or another similar utility that will remove PCKeeper Antivirus completely.

How to Uninstall PCKeeper Antivirus?

If you want to understand manual PCKeeper Antivirus uninstalling peculiarities, then we will provide you with all the solutions possible.

First of all, remember that Windows OS has a built-in uninstaller which is named as Add/Remove Programs. This option is used for programs' removal most frequently. If you are a beginner computer user, then to initiate PCKeeper Antivirus removal using Add/Remove Programs function, you should:

• Open 'Start Menu' → 'Control Panel' → 'Uninstall a Program' (Windows 7).
• Open 'Start' → 'Programs and Feature' (Windows 8.1)
• Open 'Start Menu' → 'Control Panel' → 'Add/Remove Programs' (Windows XP)
• Find PCKeeper Antivirus and select 'Chance/Remove'.
• Click 'Yes' to perform the removal and then wait until the process is over.

By the way, for PCKeeper Antivirus removal, you may also try the following steps:

• Open 'Start Menu' → 'All Programs'.
• Locate PCKeeper Antivirus folder, open it and find 'Uninstaller'.
• Double-click it and follow the process.

Unfortunately, but neither the first nor the second option ensures a full removal of PCKeeper Antivirus. In order to finish up this task, you have to find and remove all related files. The problem is that this can only be done by accessing Registries, what means that you will have to overlook several hundreds of files which is certainly a doubtful and tiresome process. Not to mention, by performing this manually, you also risk removing wrong files and therefore damaging other software. In case you are still determined to perform this process manually, then you have to:

• Check the folder that belongs to PCKeeper Antivirus and remove all files that are still sitting there.
• After that, open 'Start Menu', type “regedit” in the search bar and click 'Enter' to open Registry Editor.
• Here you should find and remove all registry entries that belong to PCKeeper Antivirus. Look for the files located in folders: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run""= "%AppData%\.exe"
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run""= "%AppData%\.exe"
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations "LowRiskFileTypes"="random;"
• Find and delete all program files in system folders C:\Program Files\, C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ and C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\.
• Finally, reboot your computer. 

Don't fall for thinking immediately that it's an easy task. As we have already noted, Registries consist of hundreds of entries. Besides, this way you risk removing wrong files and corrupting important system tools. That's why we recommend using [rev id="Perfect Uninstaller"] and performing this task with its help. Don't worry, this program is absolutely free of charge, so try using it without a delay.
