    How can I uninstall GMER? The software doesn't appear in the control panel/add/remove areas. I can find the uninstall procedures as mentioned by the GMER people, but access is denied and I can't get any further with it. I emailed GMER, but so far, no response! My OS is Win Vista Home Prem Ed.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks. I tried to install GMER and I had difficulties doing it. It appears that it just doesn't want to install over itself (?) Perhaps I did install it, but I have no way of knowing it. The program is still dated from the original day when I first installed it. In anycase, I did try to uninstall GMER again, but to no avail. Just a thought ...and again I'm just guessing...could I delete GMER to the recycle bin as any other unwanted file?

    You can try, and see, if computer won't complain.

    In case, the installation wasn't spread to far around computer, simply removing program's folder may work. Hopefully, this is the case.
    I'd run CCleaner now.
