Privatefirewall left over
« on: July 08, 2011, 03:10:14 PM »
So yeah i decided to try that sweet sweet PC Tools Firewall Plus after i removed Privatefirewall i removed the regs and files that was left over... But 1 reg and 1 folder was left and cant be not deleted by me an administrator... and its also being deleted in admin right (proof its has the shield next to it).

Reg : LEGACY_PWIPF6 contain privatefirewall filter driver, pwipf6, etc....

Folder : Its in Windows system in filerep... something like that. Its contain pwipf6.sys and informations files and another that i dont remember.

So i ask to you all who used privatefirewall why cant i delete those files ? Does its will harm my PC Tools even if it is uninstalled or its will just stand here by next installation of privatefirewall without being usefull and removable ?

Thank to help me im being desperate now lol.

If you had done a little investigating as I did, you would have noticed that the removal tool comes directly from
the manufacturer.  :)

I guess you'll find out after you remove the remainder of Private FV if your current firewall is working properly.
If it is, then your set if not, remove and re-install.

Sorry, don't have a clue and I'm not a user of either of those firewalls.
Perfectly happy with the one that comes with Win 7.
Maybe you'll need to do a little research or contact the company itself.

Iv not found anything yet that will allow me to delet legacy keys, i even run a special script which basically allows me to delet whatever i like with a simple right click take ownership but that is no good either.
