I ran into trouble when I used a registry cleaner to tune up my Compaq 6710b…aparently it deleted the reg keys that the tables for the passwords were stored in. There was only two options, re-install the OS, or uninstall HP’s stupid software. Being able to start the uninstaller saved me. Also, you may have to uninstall a couple other HP security applications with it…

I have just rescued my Windows 7 installation using this tip. I had to remove Kaspersky AV 2010 Chinese as Windows could not boot normally anymore, but Safe Mode would not let me do it. I was preparing for a full OS reinstall, but I found this trick which saved me from wasting another 24 hours backing-up and reinstalling stuff. Thank you!
