I mistakenly installed PC APP Store which bombarded be with adverts and took over my browser. I installed the free version of Malwarebyes which quarantined all of the trash and restored my PC and browser.

PC APP Store no longer appears in the App List when I click Start/Apps, but when I go to Settings/Installed Apps it is still there and the uninstall button is greyed out. How can I uninstall this nuisance and totally remove it from my PC. I have deleted the files that were quarantined by Malwarebytes?

Tried Revo and it cannot find the App. Tried typing the name in the search field of the uninstaller and got no results. The Scan option only appears when you select the junk file cleaner and it removed dozens if not hundreds of temp files, but PC App Store is still showing in my Settings/Installed Apps list.
 
This might be madness but you could try re-installing PC App store and then run Revo uninstaller. It might find the programme and all the bits left behind. I have no Idea if it would work but if you have nothing to lose it might be worth a shot.

It just occurred to me a less mad option could be using CCleaner. It has an uninstall tool that can delete programmes from the installed apps without going through the normal uninstall. Go to tools > Uninstall > Select PC App and then delete. I think this will do what you want.
 
You could give this a try.

Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 7.2​


I have used it in the past

Download Windows Installer CleanUp Utility - MajorGeeks

Windows Installer CleanUp Utility can remove Windows Installer configuration information on failed installs. This helps if you try to install the program again, but you are unsuccessful. Or, maybe you have problems trying to remove an old program because the installation files are corrupted.

Or Another is O and O App Buster

O&O AppBuster - O&O Software GmbH

But as some have said the only way to make sure its fully gone is a clean install or restore an image to a time before this happen

Solved, I had to find the folder in the registry and delete it. Nothing else worked or found it including, Revo, Everything, Ccleaner, Adwcleaner, Minitoolbox.
