The Internet is filled with a variety of applications for downloading audio and video from the social network VKontakte. Among them there are paid and free, both working and fraudulent, of any choice. One of the popular programs in this category is VKSaver. However, many users who installed this program noted unusual phenomena occurring with the computer. Often there was no button to download music or video, and if it was, then often the page crashed when downloading. In addition, there has been a catastrophic increase in viruses. That is why many people after a short use of this application decided to remove VKSaver. However, it often turned out that this was not so simple.
In this article, we describe several ways to remove VKSaver.
Method 1. How to uninstall VKSaver using standard Windows tools
To do this, go to the Control Panel (section Programs and Applications / Add or Remove Programs). In the drop-down list we find the name of our program and click "Delete." If this method works, then very well. However, many often note that the name of the VKSaver program is not in the list of installed programs, or when uninstalling, a message is displayed stating that the application cannot be deleted because it is used by another process. In this case, go to the next item.
Method 2. How to remove VKSaver using the registry
In any case, the program is present in the startup menu. This is evidenced by the fact that when the computer starts, its icon appears on the panel in the lower right corner. To correctly uninstall the program, you must remove it from the startup menu. To do this, go to the Start menu, then click Run / msconfig / Startup. Here we uncheck the box opposite VKSaver. For the changes to take effect, a reboot is required. Next, after
performing the above actions, type the combination Win + R (command line call) and type the word regedit in the line. We got access to registry entries. In the search (Ctrl + F) we type the name of our program, delete all the dropped search results. You must remember that before you remove VKSaver from the registry, you must make a backup (File / Export / Save to a removable drive (or any other non-system drive)). After that, delete all the program’s shortcuts and scan the system for viruses. Reboot the computer.
Method 3. How to remove VKSaver automatically
Today, there is a large selection of utilities that remove applications that are not used on the computer. They are called uninstaller programs. If you don’t know which one to choose, you can google and read user reviews. You can also purchase a demo version of a paid program, usually its validity period is 30 days. The most popular uninstallation utilities are Revo Uninstaller Pro and Free Uninstall It. In addition to the full-scale cleaning of the hard drive from software that has become unnecessary, these applications have many other useful functions. After the free trial period has elapsed, you can purchase a key.
