Leo, I believe that the vast majority of PC users are not exactly sure about what is normal or what’s supposed to happen during the Windows uninstall process; most specifically, or importantly, when dealing with malware. Can the unscrupulous malware writers hijack the process somehow in an attempt to get the PC user to install something else, or worse??
It might be helpful here to start with a definition of the term “uninstall”. “Uninstall” is a term we use to refer to the orderly process of removing software that has been installed. It’s usually performed by the very setup program that put it there in the first place.
And, to be clear, there’s really no such thing as a standard Windows uninstall process.
