How You Can Remove Web Companion in Windows

There could be kinds of reasons that you failed to remove Web Companion or some other programs in Windows, but I’m not wasting your time on reading the technical failures instead of solutions. If you think the problem comes from Web Companion itself, try to reinstall the program first, so that the missing-file issue would be solved, and the corrupted/damaged pieces would be replaced. Then let’s move on to the specific uninstall tutorials:

Step 1. Shut down the program and each of its processes.

1.1 Go to the System Tray in the bottom-right corner.
1.2 Right-click on the Web Companion icon and select Exit.
1.3 Right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager.
1.4 Successively select the Web Companion processes to end.

Step 2. Open the list of currently installed programs (Programs and Features).

2.1 Right-click the Start button.
2.2 Select Programs and Features on the top.

Step 3. Remove Web Companion by activating its built-in uninstaller.

3.1 In the list you will see all the programs you’re having in the system.
3.2 Find and double-click Web Companion to start the removal.

Step 4. Proceed with the removal and provide the confirmation.

4.1 When you’re prompted with “Are you sure you want to uninstall?” Click the Remove button in the lower-right corner to proceed.
4.2 When it says “Uninstalling Web Companion,” wait until the uninstall wizard finishes its job.
4.3 When it says “Uninstallation complete,” click Close.

Step 5. Open the Registry Editor.

5.1 You can see there is a Search box on the taskbar on the time if you’re using Windows 10, otherwise click Start to use the Search box there.
5.2 Type “regedit” in the box.
5.3 Select regedit from the results to open the Registry Editor.

Step 6. Find and delete the registry entries (leftovers) of Web Companion.

Note: doing this will remove all the entries related to Web Companion, so first you need to be sure you have performed the above steps to uninstall the bundled programs and there’s no other related software installed.

You can choose to back up the registry in case of any mistaken deletion: On the navigator click File > Export…, type a name and save the copy to a location.

Then, to remove the leftovers:
6.1 Delete this folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lavasoft

Step 7. Reboot your computer to take effect.

If you haven’t restart the computer yet, do it now. Then you can go to the System Tray, Start menu, Programs and Features, etc. to check whether the program has been completely uninstalled.

In the last I shall mention that if you have installed some handy browser extensions, then maybe there’s no need to install more. In fact, too many extensions may cause conflicts which will seriously slow down your PC. It’s not that hard to keep your system safe, just pay a little more attention when you download/install something, visit a link or open an email, etc.
