So I have to say that Revo Uninstaller Pro didn't seem to work in this situation. I was able to stop KMPlayer from showing as file type for avi, and other file types, before I ran out of my 1 hour time limit on the computer. Since I knew I couldn't hurt the computer, I started manually (and rather sloppily because I don't exactly understand the registry) deleting entries in the registry related to KMPlayer. However, doing a search in the registry, I still found a huge number of KMPlayer entries, and KMPlayer still appeared on many file type designations. It found many entries in the registry and I choose to delete all of them. Then I installed Revo Uninstaller Pro and choose"forced uninstall", "advanced" on the string KMPlayer. As before, I looked at the registry and found maybe 100 entries to KM Player, and as before, KM Player appeared as the file type designation on many types of files, even though I supposedly uninstalled the program. I installed the malware ( KM Player) and then uninstalled it from the supplied uninstaller in the menu. On this computer you can install/delete programs and also edit the registry with regedit. When you turn off the computer, it re-images from some master file. This public computer is Windows 7, and can't be hurt unless you punch the computer. I was curious about this, so on a public computer, I decided to put it to the test. It was mentioned in a previous post that Revo Uninstaller Pro could be used to get rid undesired registry entries from uninstalled malware.
