I downloaded this awful KNCTR by mistake and it has taken over my computer. I try to uninstall it but it says it is still running and to close all aspects of it and try again. Has anyone else experienced this and if so please tell me how to get rid of it. I am running windows 10 and do not know how to restore it to an earlier time as I often did with windows XP and 8.1. hardwall

Down on the right corner of your desktop near the digital clock should be a drop-down arrow. Click it and you'll see the 'knctr icon'. Click the icon and then click 'Shutdown'. Then go to your control panel and 'Uninstall' that program. I've already rebooted my system and it is gone. Good Luck!!


This site tells how to access Control Panel

To uninstall a program on Windows 10 or Windows 8, right-click on the Windows Start button and choose “Control Panel” from the pop-up menu.


I've also heard of holding down the Windows key and pressing the X key to get a normal Start Menu with Control Panel on it.

Thanks for the help I tried both ways and the control panel method worked. That was driving me mad.
