Solve : How to FORCE and uninstall??

1.	Solve : How to FORCE and uninstall??
Answer» Hi all! Sure hope you can help me. I downloaded a free UTILITY program to manage 'hybernation' at a 1:30 am. It is called WinMend or also AutoShutDown. This program is a serious headache! It shuts my computer down instead of hybernating and I lose any open info I hadn't saved. In a nutshell - its terrible! I went to the normal control panel uninstall and it comes back saying "an instance of this program is running on your computer". I have "Revo Uninstaller" I only use in emergencies or troubles. Revo Unistaller doesn't list it as a program to uninstall. I went to the 'program files', found it and was able to delete only some of the files. This turned out to be a wrong thing to do. It just kept shutting off my computer and there was NO mention of WinMend on my computer at all then. SO, I went back and downloaded the entire program again. I went again to Control Panel - Uninstall. This time it uninstalled. But, WHOA tonight I'm up late and the censored thing is still lurking and trying to shut off my computer. I want rid of this darn thing! I have a brand new Dell Inspiron One19 with with Windows 7 Home Premium. Can someone tell me how to force this off my computer? I've tried today again to delete the application file, but still get a "cannot delete file" type message. Thanks to all of you who do such a FABULOUS job! Pennie77 Quote I have a brand new Dell Inspiron One19 with with Windows 7 Home Premium. Well, this may seem rather obvious. You don't yet have much on the new computer, so you could backup all your personal stuff to a USB stick. Right? Look around and find the key or option that does a full restore to factory installed SYSTEM. Files you downloaded are in a forler you can backup with you documents anbd stuff like that. After the backup, hit the button and get a fresh copy of the system. That is not really my personal idea. The program you have appears to be either hostile or poorly implemented. Either way you don't want this kind of thin g or any trace of it on your new computer. The above suggestion is what others have said before, I did not just invent the idea. The full system restore feature is there for a reason. But if this Dell does NOT have it, please come back and post. It should be a standard feature on all new PCs and Laptops other that custom built. Otherwise, removing a rogue program is a job for the VIRUS experts.
