Hi there,

I typed in uninstall in the search for box but there was not much help in
the questions others had written. I had to remove defender because it
incounted an error with the sacnning. I uninstalled then tried to reinstall
then encounted the error saying you must remove installed version first. Ive
done all I no on how to remove a program completely (control panel, registry
entries, program files etc) but still didnt remove the entire program. Any
other suggestions would be gladly appreciated. (Dont wont to have to rebuild
the machine just for Windows Defender)
 
Hi,

how do you now that there is still some things left, what?
Wat did you use for regcleaning, did you remove the Windows Defender map
complete ?
Also:
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows Defender

Because I couldnt remove all the entries for Windows Defender out of the
registry. I used regseeker, very good registry cleaner. No I dont belive so.
This problem occured on one of our clients machines and we were unable to
reinstall Defender. We spoke to a Microsoft technician and he refered us to
here. Just trying to find a fix then we can go and try to repair it.
