Hi there. I am wondering if you can help me uninstall Reimage Repair. This software was installed a month ago when I was browsing. A popup told me my PC was not secure enough and suggested me download the Reimage Repair for protection. Considering it as a security program, it installed it without hesitation. However, I found I got more alerts since it has been installed. It tells my PC has virus infections and I have to pay to fix the problem. I thought it is free. My other antivirus software which I paid for did not find any threat. I do not know if the infections are real. In fact, I trust my paid antivirus because I have used it for years and it keeps my PC safe for all the time. So I decide to uninstall the software. However, I failed. All I get are errors. I tried it under Control Panel, it said I do not have right to do that. Can you believe that? I am the owner and Admin user of the PC. Anyone here has the same issue? How do you resolve it? Please help me uninstall Reimage Repair.
