Before uninstalling SpyHunter, check its Customer Service

If you opened a post called “How to uninstall SpyHunter”, we can guess that you are not satisfied with this program and you want to uninstall it from your computer. However, before doing so you should make sure that you check each of the features that are built into SpyHunter.

If you think that your machine is infected with malware but a scan with SpyHunter does not return any results, you should contact customer service instead of uninstalling the program. Be aware that some computer problems might not be related to malware whatsoever, and technical support would be able to assist you with any type of problems you are having.

Another reason why SpyHunter might not detect malware on your device is due to the outdated database. The anti-spyware scans computer and compares detected files to its virus definitions, so if the infection on your PC is not among them it can be missed.

If this fails to work for you, you should think about using SpyHunter support service, which is called Spyware HelpDesk. It is combined of Custom Fix and Live Technical Support features. More information about customized fix and other great services that can be offered by this security tool can be found in this review.

Use your SpyHunter refund option or make use of Trial version

If you still believe that you want to uninstall SpyHunter, you can use a guide given below. If you have purchased the software (the free version of the program can show you all the threats that were found on your device.

Note that the refund request should be initiated within 30 days from your purchase date.

SpyHunter alternatives

If you want to uninstall SpyHunter, remember that you should never leave your computer unprotected, as malware might enter your device at any time, especially if security holes are present – software vulnerabilities is just one of the methods that allow hackers to install malware automatically, without user interaction whatsoever.

Therefore, you need to have an alternative for SpyHunter ready – we suggest using a reputable tool that can delete detect and delete malware such as ransomware rootkits, spyware, adware, and other threats – Malwarebytes.

Additionally, do not forget that some serious malware infections might damage Windows system files and alter the registry. In most cases, security software is not capable of restoring important files that are needed for Windows operation. Therefore, to revert system modifications and fix virus damage, we also suggest using Reimage along with the regular anti-malware software.
