During a recent upgrading session, my Security Essentials became unusable and I tried to uninstall it in order to re-install it. I could not do so. Even REVO wouldn't remove it as it did not show it on its listing.

Trying to re-install also will not work, so I am asking for help. Have I really got to re-format the diskdrive and re-instal Windows.:eek:

Googling has not helped me either. I have followed the various methods without success.:confused:

Frank.

Any errors at all, Frank?

No error messages, just the fact that it would not uninstall. It appeared to have gone, but kept updating. The updates would not instal. Also, trying to re-install told me to first remove the old version.
Revo couldn't find it so I could not use it to remove it.
I finally removed it by going through the disk and registry, removing anything that seemed to have a connection to it.

I will not put it back. I'll rely on Comodo.
