Virus with mp3 utilities?? :S
 

hi,

i have had mp3 utilities for some time now, but when i recently installed AVG (anti-virus) it said that mp3 utilities had a trojan virus on it! :S I dunno, but is this why i cant uninstall it?

ps: when i try and uninstall it, it says there is a problem with the windows install package :S. I have no problem with installing and uninstalling other programs! :S

BIZZARRE

pls help!

skyline.gtr.tg,
To uninstall it you need to delete the folder from the Program Files folder then open regedit and got to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersi on\Uninstall
You will find a series of subfolders with alpha numeric names like this {7784A172-61F1-445E-8368-601607E0DD22} click on each one until you find the entry related to MP3 Player Utilities 3.68 displayed in the right panel, then delete this folder.

You should now be able to install another version.

hi,

i went into the registry but couldnt find "...\CurrentVersion\..." :S. I did try and repair the existing mp3 utilities but still its not there!.

Also, what about the virus thing?? ne1 else said there was a trojan virus in mp3 utilities??

ne help appreciated,
thanks

skyline.gtr.tg, It has only recently started to be reported as having a trojan. The offending files are called DelDrv.exe and DEVCON.EXE. These files also appear in other versions but do not seem to get picked up in virus scans. Removing the files causes problems with the utilities but if you replace them with text files with the same name and extensions everything seems to work ok and you may even be able to uninstall it.

ok, thanx for clarifying.

but wat about the problem with my registry? it doesnt have "..\currentversion\.." :S

thankz

skyline.gtr.tg, Sorry man I missed a bit it should be
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\

Re: Virus with mp3 utilities?? :S
 

sorry for the trouble, but it still says the same thing after deleting the regstry files!!! :S

can ne1 pls tell me a solution!!!!!

Btw: don't tell me to reformat my comp!! i did that two weeks ago!!

skyline.gtr.tg, When you say "it still says the same thing", what is the message you are getting?

Edit: There may be another entry here HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Pro ducts\

Deleting the entries will not make the uninstall work but will allow you to manually delete the 3.68 folder and install another version.

What version of the MP3 Utilities are you using?
