Problem uninstalling AntiSpam!

[Guest]

[woodrow]

I cant uninstall this program, when I press the uninstall button in "Add/remove programs" it just starts the uninstall window and the progress bar goes half the way and it shuts down.

Any advice?

What version of windows are you using?
Service pack?

Where do you try to uninstall the Antispam from? Add/Remove or Comodo Antispam Menu?

This should not affect un-installtion but is Antispam closed out?
Is Antivirus turned off?

Disk
Space?

Ram?

Too much loading in Systyem Tray?

Hopefully this helps you with your CAV uninstall issue anyway...

Manual Un-installation Method for Comodo AntiVirus

This manual Un-installation can be used under the following conditions

   1. User doesn't see any entry of CAV in "Control
      Panel->Add/Remove Programs" section.

   2. When user tries to un-install CAV from "Add/Remove
      Programs" section, but not able to do so as nothing
      happens after clicking on 'Change/Remove" link in it.


Steps for Manual Un-Installation

   I.   Go to "Start->Run" and type "cmd" in combo box and
        press OK button. It will open DOS console window.

   II.   Use 'cd" DOS command to change directory to CAV
        installation directory, which is by default
        '[Program Files Folder]\Comodo\Comodo AntiVirus',
        so if you have OS installed in 'C' drive, it should
        be "C:\Program Files\Comodo\Comodo AntiVirus".

   III.   Two methods are there to remove the windows socket layer.

        A. You can find a “WinSock2_backup.reg” file in CAV
           installed directory. This file contains the backup
           of your registry keys before CAV installation.
           Just double click the file and it will restore the
           registry entries prior to CAV installation.

        B. Type in "InstLsp.exe -u" and press "Enter" key.
           This will un-install the windows socket layer.

   IV. To remove the driver and service just double click the
       file “uninstCavasmDrv.cmd” in the CAV installed folder.
       This will remove the service and driver from your system.

    V. Above method removes Comodo Antivirus configuration from
       system, but still files will be there in installation
       directory that you can delete manually.

    VI. One more thing it does not remove Comodo Launch Pad from
        system, in case you have CAV as the only installed product
        and want to un-install "Comodo Launch Pad" also, you will
        have to delete CLP files manually.
        CLP is installed at following location:
        [Program Files Folder]\Comodo\LaunchPad



    If anybody is experiencing any problem with setup not mentioned
    above,please add your problem and we will try to help as much
    as we can.

    Currently we are working on our own installer, we will be releasing
    CAV with its own installer soon.
