What might have happened?

[glennc]

Hello Gentlemen,
To thicken the plot. I uninstalled SuperAntiSpyware today. In processes it does not show up. In Services it shows up as !SASCORE SAS Core Service Status=Stopped Group = N/A
It would appear that I didn't get it all gone. And that is possibly why I'm getting the failure because it can't find any of it's files.
How can I get it off of my system??
Thanks

Install superantispyware and then use Revo Uninstaller Pro - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems to remove superantispyware

WOW Petey7,
I'm glad I was at the right place and the right time. Enormous thanks for your research. Now I can read about it and make a personal decision on it. After a day or two of reading. Back in the day we would say you are a cool dude!
Also I've been looking around and I can't find a Windows 7 version of MSE. The closest I've seen is 64 Bit Vista. Am I doing something wrong, again?

Hey gregrocker,
Good instructions, already have Revo. Finding that it doesn't see as many programs as Windows Uninstall. I am currently stuck with the remnants of SuperAntiSpyware core services running about an erroring because it can't find it's files.
Thanks in the case I do make the change!!

Hello Dinesh,
Saw that they offer a free 30 day supposedly complete program. If I install it should I uninstall the Revo Free first???

The free version is enough.

Hello Dinesh,
I just got done reinstalling SuperAntispyware. I ran Revo Free regular and as Administrator and it does not show SuperAntispyware. I even rebooted to see if that would help. HELP!!!

Revo can't uninstall leftovers except on installs it is tracking; you need to reinstall the program to cue it up for proper uninstall.

Reinstall SAS from same installer you originally used, or as close as possible.

Then uninstall it as one piece with Revo in Advanced mode.

Try this: IObit Uninstaller - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

 

[gregrocker]

Restart your computer.

Look harder at Revo list - it should be there.

BTW, you have two threads going in General solving the same problem right now.

Sorry, but I am seriously puzzled. I have SAS on my system but I do not have such a service in Services. Maybe because it is a 32bit system, but I cannot make the connection to SAS. Am I looking in the wrong place?
glennc, I would appreciate if you gave a little summary report once you have it sorted out. Just for my peace of mind.

Note that the Revo uninstaller (free version) only works on the x86 program files. You cannot uninstall x64 programs with it. For that you need the pro version.

Hi, SASCore.exe is for x64 bit windows OS. Hence you dont see it there.

Aha, that clarifies it. Thanks Dinesh. Time to install my 64bit win7. It's on one of my laptops - but that one is in Florida.

You're welcome whs.

Well Gentlemen Hello and Welcome,
The situation is as follows. Using IObit which did not find the SuperAntispyware, I went in Forced Option where you can browse for the file. In Program Files I found a folder SuperAntiSpyware with and executable of the same name which I clicked on.
I was already in IObit Advanced Mode. I clicked on the executable and IObit removed 64 files. I then went into Program Files with Explorer and found that the Folder and a program SASCoreXXX was still there. It would not let me delete it as it was running. I went into Services and stopped SASCore service and for unknown giggles put it in disabled mode. I then was able to delete the file and the folder. Went into Services on Task Manager and the !SASCore was still there now showing stopped.
It is there mocking me, as I type. It is evil and needs to cease and desist and go away.
Any ideas with the above motley attempt I made, to remove it. Please..
I didn't know I had two threads on this. I have another on a different Administrative Event Error.
Thanks to all, we must be closing in on it.
And yes I rebooted after doing the above action and seeing it still leering back at me.

Bit late I know, but I wanted to confirm with Dinesh that its SuperAntiSpyware. I usually disable the service as I dont use it resident.
