andsome Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I have run junkware removal tool a couple of times. Has anyone else tried it? You don't install it, it runs from the desktop. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Yes - i have used it in the past. Just ran it again on my test PC and it found nothing - which is what I expected, and only deleted these entries :- FoldersSuccessfully deleted: [Folder] "C:\ProgramData\ytd video downloader"Successfully deleted: [Folder] "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ytd video downloader" Seems like a useful tool.

-pops- Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Good find, Keith. Just used it on my new machine and it found some inevitable rubbish even though I am so careful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I like the fact that it does not need installing. I first used it a few days ago and it found several items. When I tried it today, it first of all asked me to click yes or no to update it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I do not like any security program that deletes files and registry keys without asking me first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
