Title: AAK REFUSES TO UnINSTALL; 10 months, still annoyed
Post by Annoyed_of_AAK on Nov 12th, 2006, 10:01pm
DO NOT INSTALL AAK! YOU MAY RISK IT ANNOYING YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR COMPUTER'S LIFETIME!!

I tried out AAK for their trial offer.  It expired, and i wasn't interested anymore. So i uninstalled it.

Upon restart, the program is suppose to be cleared from my computer and it auto loads a website asking me why i uninstalled.  

This was over 10 months ago. To this very day, i still get the same autoload website everytime i restart my computer.  I've even responded to the Uninstall website with my contact info asking how to remove this annoyance... no responses.

Hmmm... Actually this uninstall feedback link had to run once only after AAK uninstalation. Can you please do the following:

- Run Windows registry editor:

Start -> Run -> regedit -> OK

- Open registry branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Run

- Right click on last key name to export this registry branch to file.

- Email this file to <support@spydex.com> for our examination.

Do the same for the following registry branches as well:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Hi Again Eric

This problem has been resolved at Nov.26th_2006 11:26 A.M., by means of massive cleaning of registry for all appearances of <AAK>.

Regarding LEGACY STUFF, I forced my way, giving full control to all users for smashing every bit of it.

In the meantime, I am staying

Sincerely Yours

Subject: Setup can't update current version / AAK 3.7


Hello Eric,

After uninstalling AAK 3.7, on account of reinstalling Windows SP2 (CD based), I receive the following statement:

Setup can't update current version because of some problems. Please, uninsall current version & try to install new version again.

I have been running AAK 3.7, for years, frequently un- & reinstalling, with the help of the product key, for various reasons.

AAK 3.7  could  not run under Vista  Beta 2, (July 2006).

Bye
