Jan 24, 2018 - I'm trying to remove CA Etrust AV on all my machin but i dont find any uninstaller on CA's website for it. Is there like a universal AV uninstaller.

Manual del sistema valery leontiev tour. She has a 2 year old Dell desktop (does E320 sound right) running XP, current on updates. The machine evidently came with CA's eTrust suite of firewall, anti-spyware, anti-virus, and something else. The subscription expired early this month and she wants to try other products. Knowing that CA is not the greatest software company around I said I'd help her get it off the machine and go with AVG, Win Defender, and use Windows firewall for now. I went to add/remove, found the entry and selected it. Got a list of the 4 products there and checked all but the firewall (I thought we might leave it in there to see how it did). The uninstall process started and pretty much died on the spot. Nothing happening on screen, no disk activity. Time passed and I gave up on it, so CTL/ALT/DEL and killed everything, then rebooted. AV & Firewall started up, so back to add/delete. I found the entry for these programs and clicked the delete button again. This time add/delete said the program was not there and gave me the option to remove program from list--nothing else was possible except to remove the entry from the display. AV & Firewall restarted, complaining about how they were expired. So I went to Windows Defender Software Explorer and 'disabled' the 4 entries, which showed as being entries in Registry. • - E-text source of Bibles and other text (search for bible). They now have pamphlets from. Reboot, back come the stubborn programs. I'm not inclined to try to guess how to remove this from the registry & everywhere else manually. Went to CA's site, but really wasn't able to find any useful discussion board or forum. My friend is looking around to see if she can find a CD for this, I thought I might need to reinstall programs so I can remove them. What I'd like is something like the Symantec Norton Software Removal Tool, but I am not holding my breath. The problem is that AVG won't install while these programs (at least the AV component) are there. Joe, Thanks for looking into this for me. I have abandoned any attempt to contact CA on this matter. It appears this software came from RoadRunner not Dell--they still offer it as a free 'benefit' of being one of their customers. Here is what I did. In SAFE mode, I did a Restore to a state before I made any changes to the subject computer. This had the effect of returning the installed programs list in the Registry to the condition prior to my attempted removal. I then started the removal again and at least got antivirus and firewall completely removed. The removal failed at this point, but upon reboot to normal mode these components did not load. I was eventually able to reactivate the Windows firewall in the XP security center. AVG antivirus will not install itself in Safe mode (this seems to one of the last things it checks after extracting & verifying all components), but I was able to download & run SpyBot (50+ items found, mostly tracking cookies) and MS Live online antivirus (nothing found) in SAFE mode. Restarting normally, I was eventually able to get AVG to install and run a scan. ![]() It found 24 virus items and neutralized them all. At end of day, this computer seemed to be working normally--programs loaded, utilities ran, IE accessed a variety of sites. There are other problems on this machine beyond the scope of this thread. I will check the link to see if it will help me put down the CA anti-spam and anti-spyware elements which do still exist in some form on that computer. At one point one of these popped up to tell me it had expiredand I was able to get to an options screen and check the box 'don't load at startup'. Hope this helps anyone looking for help with a similar problem. Regards, Tom.
