Hi.

Is it possible to remove an application and all the registry entries files and anything that was installed by that application?

so that it is as if the application was never installed?

thanks

Yes, you can. If you put it the you can remove it the same way you placed it there.

Is there there any software etc. that can tell me EVERYTHING that has been put in the system from the App?

[randem]

Nice try... but that would be attempted cracking for registry codes etc...

If it is your app you know what's been put there because you put it there...

???

This has nothing to do with my applications, programming..etc..etc.

I installed a program which must have been LOADED with spyware...etc

i want to know if there is software..to find out what got installed and where.

thanks

What i would do is search the web for some kind of installation monitor, something that watches what files get installed and what registry entries get written too. Then try re-installing the software that gave you all of these problems. That should give you the information you need. On top of that start checking out some good anti-spyware software, or some good antivirus software that will prevent these kind of things in the future.

If you are wondering about spyware, why post on a VB forum about coding?

Expecially application deployment????????

If you want a monitor, try Moosoft's The Cleaner for trojan relief. It will monitor certain registry entries automatically. It will also clean your computer.

You may also need a registry cleaner like Registry Mechanic.
