How to Uninstall MyWinlocker

If you have an Acer computer, it usually comes with pre-installed software including third-party programs such as MyWinlocker by EgisTec. MyWinlocker is basically a file encryption program. If you don't want this software on your computer then you can uninstall it. However, the installer may encounter an error and the program will not be uninstalled. In that case follow these steps:

1. Ensure no services of MyWinlocker start at login. You can use CCleaner - it's free and it lets you disable/enable startup programs, services, and context menu items (go to Tools\Startup and click on the corresponding tabs).
   You should see entries such as "mwlDaemon", "EgisUpdate", and other similarly named ones. If you are not sure about an entry, check its description and file location. Assuming MyWinlocker is the only EgisTec software you have, you can disable related entries.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Ensure no processes and services of Egistec are running by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
4. Go to www.egistec.com and click "Learn more" about MyWinlocker. Click the "Program Update" link.
   Or try this link: http://www.egistec.com/oid0x0100cid0Alidenpid196609sid02/mwl-update.aspx
5. Under "MyWinlocker latest version and tools." you can try:
• Downloading an running the smaller tools and then running the uninstaller.
  OR
• If the above step doesn't work, download the larger update file, install it and restart your computer your computer when prompted to.
  In this case, go to Task Manager and shut down processes and services of EgisTec and run the uninstaller of the latest installed MyWinlocker program (You will see two MyWinlocker entries).
  After restarting both entries should disappear and only a log file should be left in the MyWinlocker folder. You can delete the remaining folders, startup entries, and run a registry cleaner to remove traces of the program.
