Before you do, however, make sure you backup your registry (a corrupted registry could cause your PC to fail to boot!) Once you're up and running in Safe Mode: <ul><li>Browse to Start > Run > and type "regedit" and press Enter</li><li>Find and delete the following registry keys: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESETHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ESET"</li><li>Find and delete the following registry value: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Run\egui"</li><li>Browse to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab > and select "Show hidden files and folders"</li><li>Browse to your C:\WINDOWS\inf folder and delete the INFCACHE.1 file</li><li>Finally, delete all the folders named ESET.</li></ul> Networx on "Remove NOD32?" http://forum.werockyourweb.com/troubleshooting/remove-nod32#post-143 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:04:43 +0000 Networx 143@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ I've had NOD32 antivirus installed for a couple years now, and while it works great I've got antivirus through AVG as well now and prefer to have everything in one place. Problem is - AVG won't update - it keeps insisting that NOD32 is still installed and that I need to install it. However, I don't see it in Add/Remove Programs, nor do I see an uninstall option when I browse to the NOD32 Program folder via the Windows start menu. Finally, I went to the c:/program files/eset directory and did not find an uninstall file (with the exception of an XML file, which doesn't appear to do anything). Any tips on how to completely remove NOD32 from my system?
