Uninstall an old Malwarebyte program from WIN7


Recommended Posts

  October 7, 2018

Hello, I am doing some disk clean up and need some help with UNINSTALLING an older version on Malwarebytes.  My system is WIN7 PRO, desktop, up to date with all updates.

The program has an install date to my computer of September – October 2015 and I believe the program release number is 2_2_0_1024. The program is not listed in Control panel and I get an error when I try to run the mbam.exe or the unins000.exe.

Is there an “universal” type of installer available I can use to remove the program and all registery entries?

Thanks for any help,

krazykat

  • A progress bar will appear and the program will proceed to remove Malwarebytes from your computer
