VIPRE Agent Removal Script, also helpful for failed agent installs
article #448, updated 3933 days ago
The script below was written using the VIPRE manual recommends. It can be downloaded here as RemoveVIPRE.cmd. It leaves a problematical remnant for which you will need msicuu2. Very corrupt agents may need further intervention, e.g., manual removal of files and folders, clearing of system and profile temp files, and possibly registry deletions as well.

Quickbooks: a "reboot" script is included
article #709, updated 3937 days ago
Newer versions of Quickbooks have a file “reboot.bat”, included in the top-level application install folder under either Program Files or Program Files (x86). Running this file, will reregister every QuickBooks DLL, and does lots of other good things to the Quickbooks install as well. It is reported that this will improve overall QuickBooks speed in many cases, as well as fix many problems.

ESET Antivirus Deployment Issues
article #697, updated 3971 days ago
If the installer does not complete, but rolls back:
- Check Windows services, see if the Base Filtering Engine is present. If not, the ESETSIRefefCleaner tool must be run to restore it. See this KB article for steps and download.
- Open RegEdit, backup the registry.
- Search for: 6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F
- If there is a value named “UpperFilters”, delete it.
- If there is a value named “LowerFilters”, delete it.
- Shutdown and restart.
The above provided by the excellent Jared Dexter.
