Download: Microsoft Windows Brave Viewer 1.0 Removal Tool Tested Malware & Virus Free by McAfee? Jul 14, 2013  This video simply lays out how to install and uninstall software using Windows 7. Glary Utilities is used as an example. The CAFE in yourcomputercafe.com stands for.

There are a number of notable types of software which often prove difficult to uninstall completely and can, because of leftover files and/or registry entries, potentially lead to issues when attempting a re-install or installing a replacement. Antivirus software springs to mind as s typical example, in fact, we published a guide on that very topic just on 12 months ago: How To Completely Remove Antivirus Software.

Printer drivers can also fall into this category, and definitely graphics drivers. I’m currently toying with the idea of upgrading my graphics card so was pleased to come across a free and portable software designed specifically for that very purpose. I must add that Display Driver Uninstaller has been around for some time now but I’ve only just discovered it… needs must.

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)

Display Driver Uninstaller removes the current graphics driver and all previous versions archived in the Windows Driver store, plus deletes all associated software, services and registry entries. The tool basically returns your PC’s graphics to the same state it would be in following a fresh Windows install, so you can then download and install drivers from scratch, and without fear of potential conflicts.

Download consists of a 1.22MB 7-Zip self-extracting archive. You don’t need to have 7-Zip installed, simply double click the downloaded executable, select your preferred location, and click the Extract button.


DDU does not require installation so running the program is just a simple matter of double clicking the extracted executable. As is the case with most of these types of tricky uninstalls, you’ll generally achieve better results when performed from within Safe Mode. DDU covers this very nicely, with its opening screen providing a reminder plus a simple option to reboot into Safe Mode:

Select Safe Mode from the drop down menu under “Launch option” and then click the Reboot to Safe Mode button.

I tested this function in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 and it worked flawlessly with both. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you’ll be presented with DDU’s main interface:

DDU supports NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel cards, and automatically identifies the currently installed brand and model. As you can see from the above screenshot, DDU is refreshingly simple to use with 3 clearly defined main function buttons:

  • Clean and restart – used mainly when re-installing a driver for the same card.
  • Clean and DO NOT restart – for advanced users [only] who may want to play around with something before rebooting.
  • Clean and shutdown – perfect for when connecting/installing a new card.

It should be noted that DDU is still in Beta mode and the developer, much to his credit, makes a point of not only mentioning this on the product home page but also includes an option in the software, which is enabled by default, to automatically create a restore point:

On the right hand side of the main interface, toward the bottom, you’ll also see an option to “Set Windows Automatic Driver installation to default“. This will install a Windows generic driver, not the best driver but handy if you want to make sure you’ve at least got a functioning driver in the interim.

I tested DDU on a perfectly good system with NVIDIA graphics and it worked flawlessly. The key aspect is that it removes pretty much all (if not all) traces of the driver, associated software and data, which may well be critical on a system where the installation has become corrupt or when installing a new graphic card, especially where a different brand is involved.

DDU is great concept and I really appreciate that it is portable – kudos to the developer.

I have been having some strange behavior from my computer and I wonder if it could be caused by some malware, possibly from installing new browser software, or from getting something from a bad site?

System: win 7, 64 bit

1 Oct. Noticed that ccleaner would not start and that desktop icon is just a regular file icon rather than the ccleaner icon. Uninstalled ccleaner. It was version 5.34. Later found there has been some malware on a previous version.

2 Oct. Installed Opera v. 48.0 and Brave v. 0.18.36 browsers.

I noticed Brave only runs on admin account as opposed to my other browsers that are available on all accts.

After installing Brave I noticed it was a quick browser, but Chrome in turn, began running much slower, even typing delays.

Updated Malwarebytes free trial, and Avast antivirus.

Using Chrome, trying to reach www.google.com on 2nd of October around 1 pm, I get the message, 'This site can't be reached because DNS address could not be found'. Gmail still works, but half a hour later gmail and youtube are also getting this message. Cannot open any sites belogning to Google. Other search engines, and the rest of the Internet still works. I thought, maybe google was down, but also on another site not related to google, I cannot log in.

I type www.google.com in the address bar in Brave, it also says “DNS cannot be found” and in the address bar it now say “chrome-extension://(long line of letters)... about-error.html “

Why would Brave redirect to Chrome Extensions?

Task manager is running a program named 'Error', I terminate it.

I check DNS settings and Hosts file, nothing is added there.

I am checking chrome extensions in chrome, there is only Avast online Security and Skype Calling (both have been there long).

From a different computer google is working, so I am not sure if it was just down shortly or it is blocked by malware? (Next day, google was working fine again from all computers.)

Malwarebytes scan does not turn out anything, Avast full scan will not run (keeps standing in place at 0% for 30 min). Run malwarebytes scan enabling rootkits. Does not turn out anything.

Run Avast boot time scan. It takes several hours. It does not find anything but when I come back few hours later, a prompt says “A storage device was connected”. I have not been connecting anything and I have not seen this message before.

It is moths ago I connected anything, and it usually just says, “safely remove hardware”. I have run boot time scans before and never got this. Internet was disconnected all the time, but I wonder if it could have connected shortly to wifi on its own?

Does anyone know the reason of this strange behavior? I am concerned this is malware, keylogger, or for example some bad code from for example Brave installation?

Thanks a lot.
