How to manually uninstall GFI Archiver ( ONLY)

Answer

It is recommended to take a backup of the system before going through this procedure.

To remove the services:

  1. Stop all GFI Archiver services
  2. Use the following command to delete all GFI Archiver services: SC DELETE SERVICENAME
  • MARCore
  • MARIMAP
  • MARMAIS
  • MARSearch
  • MARStore
  • MARVSS
Notes
  • The Services MMC (services.msc) can be used to check what GFI Archiver services exist and how they are named
  • Older versions of the product had the version number in the services name, for example: MAR9Core or MAR9Store
  • Version 2013 or older did have an additional service (Core2) which would need to be deleted too - for example: MAR9Core2

  1. Open regedit.exe
    • If no other GFI Software products are installed, delete the 'GFI' key from HKLM\SOFTWARE
