Uninstall MyPC Backup
MyPC Backup is a potentially unwanted program that, in most cases, will stealthily install itself onto a system without any user prompt. It will display ads, including pop-up windows. Refer to the following how-to steps to manually uninstall MyPC Backup from your computer.
Steps
- Make yourself the system Administrator.
- Log on to your MyPC Backup account, and save or download your personal stuff. Then, exit your account.
- Use Windows Task Manager to terminate the above "MyPC Backup.exe" process that stays active in the background. Do this to smooth the installation process.
- Get the unwanted MyPC Backup uninstalled via one of the three methods below:
- Method One: Click Start, go to All Programs, enter the "MyPC Backup" folder, and run "Uninstall" in it.
- Method Two: Press Windows key on your keyboard, choose "Control Panel", select "Add/Remove" or "Programs & Features" entry? locate the MyPC Backup. Then, launch the "Uninstall/Change" option or hit your "Enter" key if you're using a Windows 8/ Windows 7/ Vista computer. Please note that, to fully uninstall MyPC Backup, you will need to get rid of the potentially unused "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.17" later.
- Method Three: Go to MyPC Backup's original installation file folder, and run the default uninstaller "uninst" app (84 KB).
- Apply Yes to the User Account Control alert if you see it.
- Process the regular uninstallation process. Choose the "No Thanks" option on right pane of the Uninstall wizard above.
- Wait while the "uninst" application helps perform the uninstall silently. Moreover, you may have noticed that your desktop becomes blank temporarily during the progress.
- Save your work, then restart your PC.
Tips
- Consider downloading an anti-malware program. These programs can scan your computer for viruses that your anti-virus may miss.
- If the instructions outlined above did not meet your expectations, try performing a force uninstall using a professional uninstall tool.
- If the target is not listed, try reinstalling via the original installer file.
