How do I remove "dll-files.com fixer" from my computer?

My computer was not running smoothly and I received a link to "try out" the dll fixer at dll-files.com fixer.  I tried it, did not solve my problems, and I attempted to remove it through the regular Control Panel app.  Although it was supposed to have removed it, it continued to appear on my desktop, and it shows on the Control Panel list of installed programs.  I have continued to remove it and I get an error message stating that it cannot be removed because it "doesn't exist."  How can I get rid of this program once and for all?

    If you cannot remove it using the Control Panel, then simply double-clic on the uninstall file in C:\Program Files\Dll-Files.com Fixer\

    This could work for other anoying programs like : Driver Support

    This is not your thread.. Start your own thread and specify your problem exactly.

    • The reason you think you have been given the run around is you don't seem to comprehend you

    have been taken for a ride by -

    "My computer was not running smoothly and I received a link to "try out" the dll fixer at dll-files.com fixer.  I tried it, did not solve my problems,"

    These "fixer" programs are common on the internet and it can be difficult to

    remove them. As with various malware they can 're-birth' themselves by various means.

    Many are nothing other than an extortion racket. "We found 152 problems on your machine. Buy the

    full version for $$ and we will fix all those (non-existent) problems".

    Once you have the full version installed you may (if you are lucky) be able to actually uninstall the problem they "fixed" - the one they installed with the "free" version when they "cleaned" (hacked into)

    your registry and hid a .dll file somewhere that causes the pop-ups you can't get rid of.

    Sorting out problems is a by the numbers thing. There is no one fix. You have to go through a process

    of question and answer, and often have to try numerous suggestions before finding a fix that works

    in your circumstances. If you are not prepared to do this you are better off taking your machine to

    a repair shop.

    Hi,

    1.      What is the exact error message you are getting?

    2.      Are you able to uninstall and reinstall any other program normally?

    Please run the Microsoft Fixit mentioned in the link below.
