Uninstall firefox with Revo Uninstaller
Jul 8, 2014 9:18AM PDT

Revo Uninstaller is a free utility that completely gets rid of all the garbage that the windows uninstaller leaves behind, and it works. It starts out with the windows uninstaller and removes the program, "then" it searches for all the left over files that windows didn't get, when you click the "next" button. When it finds what's left behind, check off everything and click "delete". Now you will have a clean uninstall, with nothing left behind. I dealt with a really bad trojan on my computer for about 3 months and nothing would find it, not Malwarebytes, not Spybot, or anything else. I read one day on these blogs that someone tried uninstalling Firefox and when he re-installed it, he had the same trojan back again. He used the standard windows uninstaller. When I used Revo Uninstaller and took out all the garbage, the trojan was gone when I reinstalled Firefox. Revo had found where it was hiding!! It works!! Go get it.
