Re: Geek Uninstaller Pro 3.2.2 117

I suggest if you have to go through those hoops, then your uninstaller is not good enough. If you have to do 2) and 3), then why do 1) ? Why not use the embedded Windows uninstaller, then run Everything, then run C-Cleaner in a similar manner ?
Geek Uninstaller is a custom software uninstaller tool explicitly built for Microsoft Windows. It was created by a solo software developer named Thomas Koen. Geek Uninstaller is the tool's free version, while the paid version goes by a different name, Uninstall Tool. CrystalIDEA, a Belgian software company, publishes the paid version.
There are many software uninstallers for Microsoft Windows. Some rivals to Geek Uninstaller include Ashampoo Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller. In pricing, Geek Uninstaller beats most of its competitors because its paid version carries a lifetime license. Most uninstallers charge monthly or annually, while Geek requires just a one-time fee.
Geek Uninstaller is a basic app but has all the features required of a software uninstaller. Its user-friendly interface makes it convenient for every Windows user. The free version grants you helpful uninstallation features, and you can always upgrade to the paid tier if you want extra functionality.
At first we will find a powerful uninstaller which will leave no tracks of the removed programs. Thanks to Revo uninstaller, those garbage files usually forgot by other uninstallers will disappear from your system.
Revo Uninstaller is an uninstaller for Microsoft Windows.[3] It uninstalls programs and additionally removes any files and Windows registry entries left behind by the program's uninstaller or by the Windows uninstall function.
Revo Uninstaller first runs the selected program's built-in uninstaller, then searches and removes associated files and registry entries that the uninstaller may not have removed from the user's drive.
Even if you have a program on your computer that just won't uninstall by the usual means, Geek Uninstaller has a Force Removal feature that can do this job. To help decide which uninstaller is best for you, it's also worth checking out IObit Uninstaller and Wise Program Uninstaller.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, most of them will still use the same uninstallers that Windows use, then look for any left overs in folders and registry. Nothing a good tool like CCleaner doesn't do already.
Geek Uninstaller is a free utility tool made by developer Thomas Koen. It is a program uninstaller that helps users remove applications from their PCs easily. In addition, it also scans for any leftover files from the uninstallation process and deletes them, as well.
Geek Uninstaller is an alternative to other uninstaller tools like IObit Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller. What makes it different is that it focuses more on simplicity and ease of use, while still offering all the essential features that users look for in this type of utility.
While Geek Uninstaller is a useful tool, there may be instances where you'd want to remove it. For example, if you no longer have a need for it, or if you prefer to use a different uninstaller tool. If the geek.exe file is causing system errors or performance issues, it might be necessary to remove or reinstall Geek Uninstaller.
If geek.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files", the security rating is 56% dangerous. The file size is 7,137,216 bytes (33% of all occurrences), 6,392,680 bytes or 7,147,968 bytes.The file is not a Windows system file. The file has a digital signature. The program is not visible.Geek.exe is able to monitor applications and record keyboard and mouse inputs.
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as geek.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the geek.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with geek. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
To help you analyze the geek.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
@Slezzy I recommend using advanced 3rd party uninstallers as they perform WAY better than what the standard Windows uninstaller can do. The Windows built in uninstaller can NEVER do a clean uninstall and always leaves junk files leftovers which grows over time whenever you uninstall applications and this can cause many problems including system slowdowns and hangs.
I have tried many 3rd parties uninstallers in the past and found out that Revo Uninstaller Pro 4 is the best overall. It has many useful features and one that I like is called Force Uninstall which uninstall any problematic application. I have been using it for about 5 years and I am very happy with it. It costs now $17.95 and it worth every penny .
Most likely, this error message is generated by the built-in uninstaller of the program you want to uninstall, which both the Programs and Features applet and Revo Uninstaller Pro try to run during the uninstallation procedure. In most cases, Revo Uninstaller Pro can handle the uninstallation process even if the built-in uninstaller of the program is not functioning properly. In that case, you should start the uninstallation procedure with Revo Uninstaller as usual, and when you see that error message, you can simply skip (ignore) it, click the Scan button to start scanning for the leftovers of the program, and continue forward to review and delete the found leftover data.
I tried everything, I tried to delete all of it in registry........... I think my last option is maybe to pay 17$ and get Revo uninstaller or to reset my computer... :( Guess ima just give up! At this point, I cant edit sh*t might as well delete my YouTube channel.... Thanks for trying to help me! I hope you have a better day than mine!
If you're like most Windows users, you probably just uninstall programs by launching their uninstallers from the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel. But if you're a geek, there's a chance you've dabbled with a third-party uninstaller.
Third-party uninstallers aren't a system tool most users will need, but they're not entirely useless. Unlike memory optimizers and registry cleaners, they can potentially be useful in some situations.
Each developer creates their own uninstaller for their program. In an ideal situation, the uninstaller will clean up everything the program added to the system and leave the system in a fresh state. However, uninstallers don't always work this well and may only remove some of the files, settings, libraries, and services they installed.
Third-party uninstallers attempt to exercise control over the uninstall process, removing what the official uninstaller misses. When you use a utility such as the widely-known Revo Uninstaller, it generally runs in the background and watches what an installer does when it installs the program. These tools may also watch the program when it runs for the first time, checking what it does during first startup.
The utility keeps a list of every file it sees the program add and every registry change it sees the program make. When you uninstall the program with the third-party uninstaller, the third-party uninstaller will run the program's standard installer and then clean up any files the program left behind. Ideally, there'd be no point in doing this. However, if a developer is particularly lazy, there may a number of files to remove remove and settings to revert after you uninstall the program the standard way.
First of all, if you're an average user, skip the third-party uninstaller. We haven't run one on all of our computers and haven't run into much trouble when we didn't use them. Standard uninstallers are generally good enough. A third-party uninstaller is just another system tool that adds needless complexity to your life for questionable benefits.
However, even average users may want to use dedicated removal tools when uninstalling notoriously problematic tools like Norton or McAfee. There's a reason the developers provide official removal tools you can download -- but you don't need a third-party uninstaller. The official removal tool will likely work better.
If you're a geek who's constantly installing and uninstalling software, running a third-party uninstaller can help you prevent useless files from building up and programs from leaving useless libraries and other files behind. You do have to be constantly installing and uninstalling software for this to matter -- typical users shouldn't really notice a difference. Even hardcore geeks would be fine without third-party uninstallers in the vast majority of situations, and such geeks would likely know how to clean up any problems by hand. If any problems did occur, you could always install something like Revo later and use it to remove traces of a problematic program that you've already tried to uninstall the normal way.
