tonyblair Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Is there a service or an executable file from the application Windows Defender still running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 no, there's not, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblair Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Why?simply if a service (not deleted) is still running (even if the application was uninstalled) it will forbid you to delete its folder (even if youare logged as administrator).Now I propose to you two solutions :1- You delete the files one by one inside the folder (using MBAM for example). When the inner folder is empty, then it will possibly let you delete it.2- You reboot in "safe mode with DOS prompt" with CD, CHDIR, DIR and DEL you should be able to delete the files and the folder. (I killed everything with this method, this is one of my secrets :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
