AskWoody PlusYou can try Revo Uninstaller Free and perhaps use the ‘Hunter’ module to force uninstall program remnants.
Right now they have 70% off on a 2 yr Pro license as well.Cheers

AskWoody PlusYou’ll shoot yourself in the foot for not using WUMgr much sooner.
Never an issue and so easy to use. Highly recommended over Wushowhide.

AskWoody PlusApril 14, 2024 at 8:39 am in reply to: Supermium browser for Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8.x, and newer. #2659537We can use this on the newer Windows versions right?
I’d be more interested in its privacy attributes, akin to Firefox or Brave.

AskWoody PlusYeah, I too run WuMgr on two other Win10 Home laptops. Good, nice and easy tool.
On Win11 Pro laptop, just experimenting.

AskWoody PlusThese are all free from the Google Play Store and recommended:
Avast Antivirus & Security
AVG Security & Virus Cleaner
Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus
Kaspersky Security & VPN
Norton 360 Mobile Security
securiON OnAV
Trend Micro Mobile Security & Antivirus
G DATA Mobile Security Lite
However, while the price is $0, some apps may contain ads and some may require additional in-app purchases for full functionality, while others will give you a free trial of the product for a limited time before requiring purchase.

Glad I found it on this forum.
