hi,


installed Parento Logic Anti Virus Plus
Look in add/remove programs panel and uninstall it from there.


Avira AntiVir has gone offline
What do you mean by "gone offline"

RE: uTorrent: There is plenty of malware distributed via p2p networks.

Hey Shelf Life,

Thanks for the help, I've tried to uninstall it, it won't uninstall. I've always tried to remove it using MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and NVT malware removal tool, with no success, the programs don't pick it up. When i say my Avira Antivir premium is offline, as in my online protection is reading as "disabled". I don't really use torrent sites but i'll be removing the programs.

Parento Logic Anti Virus is a legit antivirus app. Using explorer you can take a look in C:\Program Files and find its folder. click on the folder then look for a uninstall.exe or unins000.exe icon inside the folder to double click on. You may have to be logged in as a Admin in Vista.

Thanks Shelf Life,
Do you know the quickest way to log into Vista as an Admin?

shelf life
2009-09-03, 00:18
if you go to start>settings>control panel>User Accounts. click on add or remove user accounts. In the panel you should see your account and it would say administrator if you have a admin. account. Does it say admin under your account? Have you ever uninstalled anything before from the add/remove programs panel?

Cheers,
I've checked my user account and it states i'm the administrator. I've uninstalled programs before with no issue. When i tried to remove this Parento Logic program it tells me i need to be logged in as the administrator, do i need to change settings in my user account?

If you have a Admin account then you should be able to uninstall it. did you take a look in C:/Program files for a uninstall.exe icon. Give me some time and i will boot into my Vista partition and check something. In linux now.
