Once again it's disappeared so if it comes back (it always looks the same with no information icon), I will send it to the Canadian Fraud Centre you've mentioned. 00:45:33 Serge-Érik Thériault: About uninstallers: To check how good a third party uninstaller is, install the trial version (Revo, Ashampoo, IObit etc.), install a software, reboot, uninstall the software, reboot, and then launch a search in the registry (regedit)with the name of that software. Some so-called uninstallers DO NOT remove everything as claimed. Some people who try out software often use Deep Freeze (https://www.faronics.com/products/deep-freeze) to really wipe everything linked to a newly installed software. 00:51:39 Jocelyn Doire: how do you open that program? 00:52:18 Alan German: Jocelyn - Which program are you interested in? 00:53:02 Jocelyn Doire: is it this one? https://binisoft.org/wfc 00:53:38 Alan German: That's the one.
