Registry – ClassGUID
LockedDoes anyone ever delete CLASS-GUID keys? Microsoft says not to mess with them.
I am trying to get rid of an iolo popup on the Windows Security Alerts on the system tray. I uninstalled System Mechanic (iolo) a year ago but this popup that the iolo antivirus is turned off keeps popping up. I have cleaned out all registry items mentioning iolo except three that it will not let me delete. They all relate to the same ClassGUID key.
These are the three it won?t let me delete at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root
LEGACY_IOLO_SERV (Legacy Driver ? iolo System Guard)
And
LEGACY_IOLO_SERV (Legacy Driver ? iolo DMV Service)
And
LEGACY_XPACKET (Legacy Driver ? iolo Personal Firewall Driver)For example, this is everything in the registry on XPACKET:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root
LEGACY_XPACKET
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
NextInstance REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root
LEGACY_XPACKET\0000Default REG_SZ (value not set)
Capabilities REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0)
Class REG_SZ Legacy Driver
ClassGUID REG_SZ {8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}
ConfigFlags REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0)
DeviceDesc REG_SZ iolo Personal Firewall Driver
Driver REG_SZ {8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}-/040
Legacy REG_SZ 0x00000001 (1)
Service REG_SZ XPacketThen you go to: Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}
Default REG_SZ Non-Plug and Play Drivers
Class REG_SZ Legacy Driver
EnumPropPages32 REG_SZ SysSetup.dll LegacyDriverPropPageProvider
Icon REG_SZ -19
NoDisplayClass REG_SZ 1
NoInstallClass REG_SZ 1
SilentInstall REG_SZ 1And under that:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}\0000
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set) they all have this
0001
0002
all the way to
0055
