mrbrimi Posted October 29, 2015 ID:998565 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Windows 10 64 bit fully up-to-dateInstalled MBAE trial, installed the latest Beta over it.Uninstalled MBAE using Windows uninstall, removed from appdata.Supposedly the program is gone BUT I had to go into Windows 10 settings to change notifications for one of my apps and I see MBAE. Obviously MBAE is NOT fully unistalled as there are entries. Is there a cleanup tool similar to mbam-clean?Failing that is there a list of registry entries to be removed?

Staff pbust Posted October 30, 2015 Staff ID:998632 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The only other thing that could be left is this: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrimi Posted October 30, 2015 Author ID:998649 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I removed that key but MBAE still shows up under Settings / Notifications & Actions / Show notifications from these apps. It cannot be removed manually. Microsoft suggested I contact Malwarebytes. Not happy having a program leaving this type of remnant behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaking, that is simply the MBAE Icon.Totally harmless! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrimi Posted October 30, 2015 Author ID:998665 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Not quite just an icon as this section includes settings for all the apps listed including MBAE.It may be harmless but it shouldn't be there, it should have been removed during the uninstall.Call me paranoid but I think that all software developers, especially those providing anti-malware products, should know how to completely remove their own software from a system.

sman Posted October 30, 2015 ID:998793 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Notifications is unique to Win 10 and I have many uninstalled apps still showing/listed in Notification setting.. So, just relax.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilpower Posted October 30, 2015 ID:998856 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Notifications is unique to Win 10 and I have many uninstalled apps still showing/listed in Notification setting.. So, just relax..Yes agreed, again if I'm not mistaking that entry is a W10 entry(entered by OS) not the installation of MBAE.(MBAE Installer)Please correct me if I'm wrong.
