When attempting to remove unwanted software that is proving difficult to uninstall using standard methods, which of the following options is the MOST effective while also ensuring system stability and security?
Utilize a reputable third-party uninstaller program
Install additional antivirus programs to remove the software
Reinstall the operating system
Force delete the program files and registry entries manually
The correct answer is to utilize a reputable third-party uninstaller program designed specifically for removing stubborn software. These utilities run the software's normal uninstaller and then scan for leftover files and registry entries that the built-in Windows feature may miss, helping keep the system clean and stable. Reinstalling the operating system would remove the application but is an extreme measure that risks data loss and downtime. Force-deleting program files or registry keys can accidentally remove critical system components and destabilize Windows. Installing additional antivirus programs is unrelated to removing non-malicious software and can create conflicts that hurt performance and reliability.
