deleting PartyPoker from my computer

ski · #1 10-09-2006, 05:42 PM

I am looking to delete all traces of it. I did a search but can not find instructions. Please let me know.

Thx.

Also just to clarify, I am doing this because I don't Party looking at stuff in my computer. I just need to be sure they are not spying on this computer. I don't care if there are traces of the software.

Try this. Not entirely sure it works as I've never tried it. But might be what you're looking for.

It's over a year old, so not sure how the recent Party upgrades will effect it.

Only way I know is to nail a stake through your hard drive.

Good luck and Enjoy!

That is much more than you need to do.

Click on the Start button at the bottom left corner, then Control Panel, then Add or Remove Programs, then click on Party Poker from the list.

As double check, look at the files on your C Drive in the Program Files and delete any folders named PartyPoker or PartyGaming. Your past hand histories are in the PartyGaming folder, so you may want to save those.

benfranklin it isn't that easy. Party software leaves stuff all over your computer. Your registry will reflect this. Some of the Microgaming programs are even worse.

Who cares if some residual remains on my computer? It won't help them get my business in the future.

You do realize when you signed up to Party you agreed to allow them to install programs like screen scrapers and keystroke loggers, which they did, don't you?

I am not saying they aren't removed with the main uninstall, but I would want to be sure all of their "residual" is removed.

I easily stopped that by using "Snoop Free". I think alot of other people used a similar program called "Process Guard". 'Stosh
