BestBuy PC App Detector Uninstall

I am trying to uninstall the BB PC App Detector. Nothing appears in my Control Panel add-remove programs related to this; in my C/Program Data folder there is a folder that has this name. I click on the uninstaller and absolutely nothing happens.
Is there a way to get this off my computer? I haven't yet had to use Revo uninstaller on this laptop in 9 months; I was hoping to not have to use it.
And in case any BB employess are going to inist on an approved explanation before giving me instructions, its showing up as a browser extension, and I never wanted this program to begin with--I'd like to totally get rid of this program, so it won't be showing up as an extension.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You could probably just delete the folder and then run CCleaner to remove the rest of the traces. I'm assuming that if there is nothing in the appwiz.cpl menu, that means that the main program was already removed, but traces of it remain. Deleting the fold in program data should make any other reg keys orphans and ccleaner will remove them.
Make sure to disable the browser extension before removing the folder.
Although I do work for the Geek Squad, all comments and opinions are my own.

  • Please provide me with an uninstaller for BESTBUY PC APP and DETECTOR. TYVM!

    I do not want to Revo uninstall anything or decrapify my PC!
    I have no intention to delete subdirectories under C:\ProgramData or modify a few varied registry entries!
    There will be no CCleaning my c drive or reconfiging my msconfig file!
    Best Buy put BESTBUY PC APP and DETECTOR on my PC and I want Best Buy to provide me with an uninstaller to remove BESTBUY PC APP and DETECTOR!
    Thanks!

    HockeyCanuckJC,
    Yes, I am familiar with that post and its thread. As a matter of fact, in my original post, when I said "I do not want to ... decrapify my PC!" and "I have no intention to delete subdirectories under C:\ProgramData or modify a few varied registry entries.", I was specifically thinking about the workaround solutions proposed in the post/thread you mentioned below.
    I remain hopeful that Best Buy will take responisiblity for and resolve the software problem they created for me (and others as demonstrated by the number of similar posts/threads) and do not plan on purchasing or allowing my wife to purchase ANYTHING from Best Buy until they do!

    I downloaded premier- but now I cant find it in my apps- I uninstalled the old trial version, where is the new version I just downloaded?

    Doing a factory reset will delete your Firefox install. Even if you move the app to the sdcard.

  • Why won't this Best Buy PC App craplet uninstall?

    I don't appreciate the fact that when I try to uninstall this program as an administrator it remains on other accounts, and when I uninstall it from those it pops up again if I create a new user account. Why is this necessary and how do I get rid of this program completely?

    Archie has nothing to do with it and doesn't even remotely apply in this situation. Archie is NOT the utility that puts Best Buy pc app on the computers. They come packaged that way. Archie is put on DISPLAY model computers only. Yes the pc app has to be uninstalled on each user account and there is a thread on here somewhere where someone posted how they got rid of it for good. I'll try to find it an link it.

  • Facebook v1.2 app - cannot uninstall

    When I first got my Droid (just the regular Motorola one) I installed the Facebook app, version 1.2.
    I'm trying to completely uninstall the app, but am having some trouble. When I go into "Manage apps" from the Settings menu, it's not showing up in my Downloaded list. It does show up in the "All" list, however. But when I open that up, my only option is to Force Stop (even after I've quit the app with ATK). The button to Uninstall is continually grayed out.
    I'm at a loss. How do I delete this app??

    Did you back up the original apk before you updated to the new version? If so just install from the apk and it should alllow you to over ride the new one, it is always wise to backup your apk files before dong a update for situation just like this.
    If you do not have the original backed up I am sure you should be able to Google for that version and someone may have it or check the face book download page, they may allow you to download the previous version from their server also.

  • Uninstalled app completely missing from App World Uninstalled list

    HI,
    I recently uninstalled an application _by accident_, and now it is completely gone from even the My World Uninstalled list.
    When I navigate to the app in the App World, I see the app, but there is no icon to install or re-install.
    How do I get the app back?
    The app is http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/1222/
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It should indicate "uninstalled" on that screen.
    1. Open App World
    2. Go to My World
    3. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and press "RST"
    4. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
    Now, return to AppWorld > MyWorld > Uninstalled. Is it now clearly listed and able to reinstall?

  • How to update an win8 app without uninstall it?

    Hello everybody!
    I need to deploy an update of an app in my company using the sideloading mechanism and sccm 2012.
    If I choose Supersedance, select the installed app version and check the uninstall option, the app is installed, but unfortunately all permissions need to be re-authorized by the user.
    If I don't select the uninstall option, the deployment fails saying package with same identity is already installed..
    How can I update my enterprise app, keeping the registered permissions by using sccm?
    thanks in advance!

  • Install CC apps after uninstalling - can't download

    I have a current Creative cloud subscription.  I uninstalled my CS6 versions of a few apps so I could download the full CC versions.  But when I launch my CC desktop app....it only shows....up to date as the option.  It won't give me the download link again.
    When I go to the website to download....clicking the download button just makes me download the CC desktop app again
    How do I download and install the full versions of the CC apps??????

  • App Manager: Uninstall apps and Re-install when needed?

    I have just installed CS6 Master Collection, can I uninstall some applications (via the App Manager) and then re-install them later when needed?

    Uninstalls are handled via the respective Add or Remove Programs system panel (Win) or by accessing the uininstallers directly (Mac). AAM realyl only handles the download and install, as illogical as that may seem...

  • IOS File.documentsDirectory: Deleted when App in Uninstalled?

    I don't think I can verify this without jailbreaking, which I'm not allowed to do.
    On my test iPad, an app's File.documentsDirectory appears to be a folder created specifically for that app. It looks something like this:
    /var/mobile/Applications/EB67921A-AB8F-E432J1C3E553/Documents/
    This differs from Windows, where File.documentsDirectory is:
    C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\
    When you uninstall an app, does the app's Documents directory get deleted? If so, are there any situations where it would not get deleted?

    On iOS, there is no shared directory that all applications can access. It's why the document directory just create his own directory in his local space. Since everything is local on iOS, your directory will be destroyed with the app.
    On Android, the documentDirectory is the sd card and won't be deleted with your app.

  • ICloud Bookmarks Chrome app keeps uninstalling

    Here are the details. Due to work, college, and personal life I have to use Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and even Internet Explorer. For example some of my college's web apps only work in Internet Explorer but about nothing else works in Internet Explorer. Another example is I have to use a Chromebook for work and the Chrome browser at home on my desktop due to the apps and extensions. To make a long story short I needed a way to sync information like bookmarks across these browsers and devices.
    I installed iCloud for Windows on my Windows 8 PC because it's the only device that has all the browsers but Safari on it, but it syncs with my iPad that has Safari. I clicked the button in it to sync my Chrome, Firefox, and IE bookmarks with Safari and it installed Apps/Extensions in all the browsers to sync them. As soon as I turned my Chromebook on it sync'd with my Chrome account and installed the bookmark app. It instantly realized it was not on a Windows OS and said it only worked in Windows and uninstalled its self. Chrome sync'd with my Desktop and uninstalled it there. I tried reinstalling it but it instantly uninstalled its self.
    What are my options? Also any suggestions for syncing other things like reminders, calenders, passwords, etc? I'd been using LastPass but they want to charge me a reoccurring fee to use it on my iPad.

    I'm having this problem too.  I get a message in Chrome saying
    This extension requires that Chrome is running in desktop mode.
    Click the Chrome menu and select "Relaunch Chrome on the desktop"
    But I AM running in Desktop mode and can't get iCloud Control Panel to recognise that I have installed the plugin so can't sync my bookmarks

  • Twelve of my third-party apps essentially uninstall themselves when I sync my iPod Touch.

    Here's the kicker: in NO WAY did I uncheck their boxes, yet iTunes keeps thinking I want to remove them. I am at a loss what to do, as the support articles on Apple's site aren't helpful. This has not occurred before today.
    I suspect this has its roots in something I possibly did this afternoon when I sat down to sync my iPod Touch (3rd generation) to my computer (PowerBook G4).
    When I plugged the sync cord into the iTouch, I realized I forgot to turn off WiFi before beginning this, as push notifications halt the syncing. Just before the Sync in Progress screen, I touched the Settings icon when I realized I'd forgotten the WiFi. Since then, despite my attempts, the apps, when selected and dragged over to the desired screens, do not "stick" as the syncing progresses.
    As you can imagine, it is frustrating, because I use these apps to varying degrees. For the record, they are: Best Buy, Converter, eBay Classifieds, eBay Mobile, Flashlight, Flicker, Free Wi-Fi-Finder, HBO, PayPal, Target, TextFree, Walmart, and Wikipedia Mobile. Attempts to download them from the App Store via the device result in a message saying that I need to have iOS 4.x, The problem, however, is that I am presently unable due to financial issues to upgrade my PowerBook's OS from Tiger to Leopard, so I can upgrade iTunes from 9.1.1 to 10.x, and ultimately the iOS to 4.x from 3.1.3.
    Given my situation, what can I do by myself to remedy this? If push comes to shove, I'll see an Apple Genius, something for which I'll make an appointment anyway.

    Well this won't work for me...
    I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...

    did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
    NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.
