Logitech Webcam Uninstall Issue

Hi CarolsSis

Sorry i was away yesterday.
The OTL fix removed all of the logitech folders, so should have given you a clear run to reinstall it.

That's good to hear.

Run everything for a day or two and if everything is still ok, we'll finish off the cleaning process and remove the tools we've used.

 

Hi CarolsSis

Not a problem.
As this is no longer a malware issue, if i can't answer your questions one of the other staff will.

Ok,
As you will know a lot of computer manufacturers will add programs for their own benefit and these programs can sometimes bog a system down.
PC Decrapifier is a free tool for you to use that helps remove programs, unnecessary startup items and icons that can slow down your PC. It takes you step by step, giving you recommendations on what to remove, many of which can be removed unattended.
PC Decrapifier works with all versions of Windows 7, Windows XP and Vista.
There's a full list of what it'll remove Here

Here's my canned speech for the program:

The PC Decrapifier will uninstall many of the common trialware and annoyances found on many of the PCs from big name OEMs.

Download Pc-decrapifier
Save it to your Desktop.
Click on the desktop icon to run the program (there's no installer)
Follow the prompts.
You can create a restore point. This can be useful to recover from an unexpected error.
You will have the choice to pick and choose what you want to remove.
It will not begin removing anything without prompting you first!

Note:
Your anti-virus software may complain about this program because it is written with a scripting language. These warnings can be safely ignored.

There's a simple guide on how to run it Here.

Now to remove any programs we have used:

Step 1
Restart MBAM.
Click on the Quarantine tab
If there are items in quarantine.....
Make sure everything is selected and then click Delete All.
Close MBAM.

Step 2

• Please double-click OTL.exe to run it.
• You should see a CleanUp! button, press that button,
  
  
  
• This will cleanup an assortment of tools used during malware removal, plus itself

Note:
MBAM will not be removed

Let me know how the PC Decrapifier goes and as i said.... feel free to ask any questions.

 

Hi CarolsSis

This is a defrag program i use and recommend, if you want to try it.

Download Puran Disc Defragmenter
Save it to your 'Desktop'.
Run the program.
From the main 'Puran Defrag' screen, click on the 'C' drive to highlight it.
Then click on 'Defrag'.

This program is faster than the built in Windows Defrag and is more efficient.
Try not to use the m/c while the defrag is running.

See if the system runs any faster afterwards.

If you want a good temp file cleaning program, this is what i recommend.
It's made by OT ( the same person that writes OTL)

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Has this screen always been there?
I have a simillar screen on this system, but i leave it and it carrys on with the boot procedure within a couple of seconds.
I've seen simillar screens on Dell systems as well.
It's just a way of entering the bios or system settings at start up..... but most will never actually need those options.

Just carry on posting here, it's easier.
