Recommended Posts

Download and install CCleaner from here:

 

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds

 

Ensure to select Slim version. (No Toolbar)

 

Run CCleaner, from the main GUI select > Tools > Uninstall tab. The installed programs list will populate. Select "ScorpionSaver" (if present) then "delete entry"

 

Next,

 

Select > Cleaner > Run Cleaner > all temp files and caches will be deleted/emptied

 

Next,

 

Select > Registry > "Scan for Issues" > with all found entries checked select > "Fix Selected Issues" follow prompts to make back up and remove all entries...

 

When CCleaner is finished reboot and check if this nuisance has finally gone.....

 

CCleaner is an excellent Utility and well worth keeping, bottom left hand corner of main interface is link "Online Help" use that link to get the full instructions for this very handy application.

hello, your link takes me to a 404 error. when i type the url in that you recommend, the options are Ccleaner - installer or Ccleaner - portable.

I chose installer, allowed it to install without changing my browser to chrome, saw no options for toolbars anywhere.

 

Following your directions within Ccleaner, i found ScorpionSaver and clicked delete entry, and was given the error: Cannot delete MSI installer.

 

what do you recommend?

This is unbelievable, Open Regedit again and navigate to and expand the two following Keys:

 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

 

When you have expanded down to "Uninstall" folder right click on that folder and select "Export" save the exported file from each key to your Desktop, name the files 32 for the first key and 64 for the second.

 

Zip up both files and attach to your next reply

Change of plan, ignore my last reply and do the following:

 

Go to the following link and download MyUninstaller Open the link and scroll down below "Feedback" to find access to the d/l. Also read all of the available information at the link, specifically the section marked "Removing an Uninstall entry"

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/myuninst.html

When you have the d/l unzip to your Desktop. Right click on the application and select "Run as Administrator" the program is a standalone executable so will not install.

When the program runs wait and the main interface will populate with an Installed Programs list.

Check through the list until you see an entry for ScorpionSaver. Below the menu bar are column headers, look under Obsolete and Uninstall If the word Yes is listed under Obsolete and not Uninstall against the ScorpionSaver entry it means we can safely delete that entry.

With ScorpionSaver Highlighted, either select > File > Delete Selected Entry or with ScorpionSaver selected (highlighted) click on the icon from the menu bar for "Delete selected entry". It looks like a red cross. I`ve also added a screen shot of the interface.

Thanks for the zip files, ok do the following:

 

Re-Run otlDesktopIcon.png  by double left click, Vista and Widows 7 users accept UAC alert.

  • Under the customFix.png box at the bottom, paste in the following, start with and include the colon plus Reg . :Reg
     
    :Reg[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{9B65F9A3-9D24-452A-B6EF-1457D65E4259}]:Commands[emptytemp][CREATERESTOREPOINT]
     
  • Then click runFixbutton.png button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, when done it will say "Fix Complete press ok to open the log"
  • Please post that log in your next reply.

 

Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process.

If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes. In this case, after the reboot, open Notepad (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad), click File > Open, in the File Name box enter  *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTL\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.

 

Is it finally gone??

The good news is not seeing that nuisance in the uninstall program list, do this please...

 

You can drag and drop MyUninstaller to the recyclcle bin or Right click on it direct and select delete.

 

Re-boot your PC, open CCleaner, select > tools > uninstall > ScorpionSaver should not show now, if it does select it in the list then "delete entry"

 

Next,

 

Run Malwarebytes,  Open > Settings Tab > Scanner Settings > Under action for PUP > Select: Show in Results List and Check for removal.

Please Update and run a Quick Scan

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected on any found items.

 

Post the produced log, let me know if you have any remaining issues or concerns...

 

Kevin
