I can't seem to get this thing off my computer. Smart Tweak....Update my Drivers.
I installed Geek Uninstaller, which was recommended to take it off, but when Geek pulls up my programs, Smart Tweak isn't on the list. I know it's on my computer but can't find it with Geek to uninstall it.
If I bring up "all Programs" on my start up menu, it's listed.
Any thoughts?

Look closely at the list of apps, it may be listed as something different. Post a list of what you have and we'll take a look. You could also try running Malwarebytes as it may find it as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) and remove it.

I have malware bytes and it never found it. Right this minute I'm running a full scan. It's been going for 9 hours and 48 minutes and hasn't found anything. LOL From what I understand it isn't true Malware.....more like annoyingware. Maybe that's why it doesn't trigger a response.
I can see it listed in the programs (listed as Smarttweak Software), but not in the Geek list of programs. Not sure why. It's not there. I did find something called Astromenda that I googled and immediately and forcefully removed.

It looks like I would have to go Revo Pro.

It's not listed on the programs that can be uninstalled.

You might try downloading CCleaner to see if it shows up in their listing.

Download CCleaner 4.04.4197 - FileHippo.com

Filehippo is safe. I use it for downloading CCleaner when I update.

At the left side of the CCleaner screen go to the tools menu to find the installed programs list.

I had CCleaner. I uninstalled it, I think. I'll have to check it out. But, will it uninstall a program?
