Want to uninstall MWP 7.11

Tue Jul 25, 2017 6:45 am

I decided I wanted to remove MWP and install MW Free instead. I have uninstalled MWP about 4 times now and installed the Free version but when I start it up it keeps starting as MW Pro.

How can I get round this as it is pretty frustrating! After each uninstall I checked the original folder and the only file that show is the 'key' file.

I don't want to use Revo Uninstaller in case it zaps all my settings which I will need for when I get Free version working.

Thanks.

  1. Backup "C:\Users\YourProfileName\AppData\Roaming\Firetrust" to a different partition/drive
  2. Uninstall MailWasher Pro
  3. Delete the "C:\ProgramData\Firetrust\MailWasher\key.file"
  4. Install MailWasher Free
  5. Copy the backup to its original destination, only if required.
