Hi,
I installed a few weeks ago MPC Cleaner and then I uninstalled because it was starting creating a lot of problems.
I thought it was unistalled but I noticed that there is a SYS file which is impossible to delete:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MPCKpt.sys
Any idea how can I delete it?
There are also a lot of entries on registry that are also impossible to delete on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MPCKpt
I tried a lot of tools like your or ADWCleaner, CCleaner, MalwareBytes, ZHP Cleaner, etc
They all detect the MPCKpt.sys and some registry entries but none of them is able to delete them even after reboot or even using fileassassin...
Any idea? Thanks

I forgot to add that unfortunately even Freefixer failed when trying to delete this sys file. I got this error message:
"Error when deleting the 'MPCKpt' registry key using 'SHDeletekey'. Entry: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services' System error message: Acces refused. Error code: 5
