Default Uninstalling Steganos Security Suite Help

My apologies if this is the wrong group, but I am desprate !
I purchased a full version of Steganos Security Suite 7 and used it
for a while until my system crashed. I managed to restore my system
but would like to unistall Steganos. It does not matter what I do,
this software is still in my system. I can't seem to get it off from
the registry. I have contacted Steganos but no word from them. Please
can you help.
Thanks.

It's all very well saying "It does not matter what I do", unfortunately we
don't know what you have done.

Nonetheless, my first suggestion is to re-install it, then use ADD/REMOVE to
uninstall it. You may even have a "repair" option you can use, which I would
run first, then try removing it.

If that doesn't work, try renaming the folder in which the program resides,
then re-install it, thereafter delete the renamed folder, and use the
ADD/REMOVE programs to remove the program.

If that doesn't work, then you are beginning to rely on Steganos getting
back to you.....unless you can roll the system back a little further with
SR, pre-installation of said software?

Thanks a lot. It was the renaming of the directory that helped. I
renamed the directory and did a fresh install. This corrected the
problems that I had - it was not installing properly before. I have
decided to even keep the software rather than remove it.
I appreciate your help.

Regards.

LOL. You decided to keep a known insecure and buggy closed-source crypto
software from a clearly untrusted vendor.

That little gem just earned you a place in my killfile. There's only so much
one can put up with from fuckwit's before a digital 'punch' in the mouth is
due....

Thanks TX. After renaming the folder in the C: /Programe Files/ I was
able to uninstall the software. The new installation is also working
fine and have decided to keep it. It was not installing without
errors before.
Thanks.
