If it still appears in Add/Remove programs, you could try the free version of Revo Uninstaller: https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
The advanced mode searches for leftovers and registry entries and allows you to choose what to remove.
It's a while since I had VideoPad installed, but I thought NCH was a reputable company. Your system slowing down is more likely something else.

No problem. And wow, that was a quick response!
Thanks, thisisu

Hi, I'm getting what I believe are false positives for some Native Instruments setup files and reg keys. These have been on my system for a while and have never been detected before. Native Instruments are a reputable company that sell audio software plugins. I downloaded them with the official Native Access installer. I checked each of the 24 detected items (identified by MBam as malware) and decided to cancel the quarantine.
Here are the web pages for the two products that were identified:
https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/synths/mikro-prism/
https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/effects/solid-eq/
I have attached the scan log and the files that were detected. I didn't include the reg keys, but I checked them all. They are all related to the detected files.

@Morrile Malware protection has become political. It's big brother telling you what is good and what is bad. Quite sad. You may expect that driver updaters will be next to fall, followed by torrent downloaders (O yes son, you might catch a nasty cold torrenting).
1 hour ago, Telos said:Declaring that registry cleaners are PUPs goes beyond subjective. Some may be, but not because they are registry cleaners. Turning off PUPs detections drops protection from real PUPs as well as imagined PUPs.
Misclassifying software due to personal bias is an integrity issue. Let PUPs be PUPs.
If you don't like reg cleaners, driver updaters, torrenting apps, then don't install them. But don't make that choice for others.
I don't think it's political or a big brother tactic. it's actually the opposite. If you read the thread Firefox linked to (above) you'll see that MBam are letting the people decide what should or shouldn't be considered a potentially unwanted program. It's only classifying certain software as "potentially" unwanted. Not as malware. And although some reg cleaners have a good reputation, there are a many more that would be considered "definitely" unwanted, by users, if they knew what was really going on behind the reg cleaning, optimizing facade.
And from what I can see, it's not targeting all reg cleaners, only those which have a poor reputation. I have CCleaner installed and it passes the PUP detection unscathed. But if it were to be flagged as a PUP, I would just add it to the exclusions - since I know I want to keep it.
To me, this is far better than having a more forgiving PUP detection, which may actually let bundled garbage pass through undetected.

Well, that didn't take too long to fix. All is working fine now.
Those people who fled the scene in a blind panic... you can come back now

@Liquid, thanks for the good news that MB3 is working great for you. And I am sure the team would like to say Thanks for being a loyal customer and supporter of Malwarebytes.
That being said, I have alerted staff about your signature issue.
Yes, very happy so far. And thanks. I can't really recall, but my original sig was most likely just a link with a small image. That's what I use on other forums. I was horrified to see a full size video in it's place

Cheers

I see a video of mine has been added to my post as a signature. I don't remember doing that when I joined. But I can't remove it now, because it says I must have 50 posts to access the signature section in my profile. I did click "hide all signatures" but I don't know whether that just hides what I see, or whether it hides my sig from others as well. Admins please remove my sig for me. I don't want to look like I'm spamming the forum with every post. Thanks.

I've been a member for 5 years, but this is my first post.
I just wanted to say thanks for the added features I am now getting with my lifetime licenses in MBam 3.0. I was quite surprised to discover that the Anti-Exploit and Ant-Ransomware were just added. I really didn't expect that. I thought I would have to buy yearly subscriptions if I wanted those as well.
I only just installed version 3, so I haven't much to report. Other than to say - the install was smooth, the first scan was lightning fast and the footprint on resources with the added modules is, so far, unnoticeable.
Thanks again. Malwarebytes is the best!

Hi, Liquid:
We'll need to wait for one of the staff to confirm this, but -- based on this post from ~1 year ago -- it looks as if you don't need a second license:
https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=119997
(Of course, this only applies to personal home computers, not anything used for work/business/educational/retail/entreprise. Those systems need business licensing and the terms are different.)
HTH,
daledoc1
Thanks very much, daledoc1. I am not in a hurry, so I will wait for a staff confirmation, but it looks like it should be ok (and yes, this is just for a personal home computer).
Cheers

Hi, I recently installed a second OS (XP) on my PC. Am I allowed to install MBam Pro on that as well? I know that a separate licence is required if it is to be installed on another PC (I actually have 2 PCs and 2 licenses). But am I allowed to use a single MBam Pro licence on 2 separate installs of my OS, on the same computer?
Thanks

I got a false positive, Then I came here and saw your post about it, So I manually updated MBam and rescanned the file. All fixed. You guys are on the ball.
Can't Uninstall NCH Suite (VideoPad Video Editor)

Yes, it uses the program's own uninstaller. Then it presents you with a list of any leftovers and registry entries that the uninstaller might have missed. You can then choose from the list, what you want it to remove. So long as you follow the recommendations and only choose the bold text items to remove, you should have no problems.
