Removal Instructions:

Quicklaunch area:

Please remove the following items from your start quick launch area text to the "Start" button in the taskbar at the bottom.
To check where they are pointing to, right-click them and choose "Properties" from the context menu appearing.

• Quicklaunch symbols named "RegAce.lnk" and pointing to "<$PROGRAMFILES>\RegAce System Suite\RegAce.exe".

Files:

Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.

• The file at "<$APPDATA>\RegAce\RegAce.log".
• The file at "<$COMMONPROGRAMS>\RegAce System Suite\RegAce System Suite.lnk".
• The file at "<$COMMONPROGRAMS>\RegAce System Suite\Support.lnk".
• The file at "<$COMMONPROGRAMS>\RegAce System Suite\Uninstall RegAce.lnk".

• The file at "<$PROGRAMFILES>\RegAce System Suite\RegAce.exe".

Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If PU.RegAce uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D 2.x or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins.
