Stubborn Fliptoast

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

Recently a freeware program surreptitiously added Fliptoast to my PC. I tried to remove it via Control Panel, but an (Inactive) icon remained in the gadget bar on screen right. I treid CCleaner but it couldn't see anything left. Went into regedit and found a bit more (under Fliptoast). Icon stayed.

Someone said download Fliptoast and ask CCleaner to remove the whole thing, so I did that. Guess what? Now I have two Fliptoast icons in the Gadget bar, and there was even bigger pile of debris in the registry.

Why can't CCleaner find and remove either the whole program or the stray bits left over?

Thanks.

CCleaner isn't really meant to clean up after crappy uninstallers. I'd talk to the Fliptoast people if I were you.

Make sure you have rebooted lately.

Try deleting it in safe mode.

Sadly, the "crappy uninstaller" was C Cleaner. It was given the chance to remove the unmodified Fliptoast and left a pile of stuff behind.

CCleaner simply uses the uninstaller provided by FlipToast. Try Revo Uninstall or, as suggested, get in contact with the FlipToast developers.

You suffered what you call a surreptitious installation.

That is misbehavior.

Sounds like malware to me.

Why give it a second chance.

Someone gave you bad advice to follow.

It is good advice if you can trust the intentions of those that created FlipToast.

Do you know for sure what FlipToast is ?

Did it even come from Facebook (which I refuse to be contaminated with) or something more evil ?
