Uninstall Teamviewer 8

You can't uninstall TeamViewer for your Windows?! Let it be noted that the new TeamViewer installer provides THREE setup options: "Install", "Install to control this computer later from remote" and "Run only". Thus, you can use Windows programs manager (aka, "Add/Remove", "Programs & Features") to uninstall TeamViewer only when you had chosen the aforesaid first 2 options; otherwise, you need to manually clean up traces of the temporal installation. Try to follow instructions below to accomplish the uninstall of TeamViewer.
