Forced Software Removal: An Overview of Popular Utilities

Removing malicious programs is something that even the most inexperienced user of the computer has associated with. Unfortunately, you can not always remove an unwanted file using the built-in uninstaller. In this case, it is better to use third-party software.

Often, such a virus application is not a serious threat, they only slow down the PC and install different programs without the user's consent. The main problem is that they do not see antiviruses.

If the problem is pop-up ads in browsers that did not exist before, then do not immediately resort to using a special program. Removing programs (in Russian, there are also applications) of this kind can be achieved, as a rule, when you turn off all extensions that were previously installed.

AdwCleaner

Few of the professional programmers will call this program the best among others, which forcibly remove unwanted utilities. However, it is necessary to diagnose the system and identify problems with its help. Especially if difficulties arose with the work of the browser: there are no rights to change the start page, etc. The main advantages of this security is that it is distributed absolutely free of charge, there is a Russian localization with a human translation. Moreover, the interface AdwCleaner is amazingly simple. With the functionality, even an ordinary "teapot" that never heard of such a concept as forced deletion of programs will be able to figure it out.

Unlocker

One of the best in its business is the Unlocker program. It will remove any object that does not respond to the normal uninstaller. Often, system files report that they are being used or occupied by a process. To understand what blocks access to it, in most cases it is impossible, and rebooting the system does not solve the problem. Russian language support is available. Forcibly removing programs using Unlocker is obtained due to the fact that it is able to unlock absolutely any file.

Moreover, this utility will display all the applications that are involved in the work. Due to this, the user can perform the settings of the work himself.
