JDPower Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Can it not be uninstalled via Windows own Add/Remove programs list (Click start>Click Control Panel>Click Add/Remove programs then find the program, select it and remove)? You can do the exact same as the above using CCleaner (but if the above doesn't work CCleaner won't uninstall it either) - Open CCleaner>Click the Tools button>Click the Uninstall button>Find Driver Cleaner in the list>Select it and click the 'Run uninstaller' button. Let us know if it can't be uninstalled using the above methods (By the way, there are several programs called Driver Cleaner, are you able to tell us which one you are having difficulty with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only spybot found it but unfortunatly is not able to remove it. Anyway it says that is a PUPS is in the Registry Keys and give me this address. DriveCleaner 2006[sBI$7E4FBD6E] ID di classe H-KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\InprocServer32 Do you think is possible to remove it????? Ahh...I did try to get the log with HijackThis but for some reason it doesn't work, I followed the instruction but come always out that is unable to connect.

Moderators Nergal Posted November 11, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi all, Bleeping has a remove Drivercleaner walk through http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic71782.html ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
