    No problem. We'll need to uninstall combofix, but first tell me if this folder exists.

    c:\program files (x86)\Cheat Engine 6.1

    The folder? You can delete it.

    Combofix removed the add/remove entry as it was orphaned.
    AddRemove-Cheat Engine 6.1_is1 - c:\program files (x86)\Cheat Engine 6.1\unins000.exe
    If everything is running good now, uninstall combofix.

    Open a Run command box. (Start > Run or Windows key + R on your keyboard) and copy/paste this command in:

    ComboFix /uninstall

    Note the space between ComboFix and /uninstall , it needs to be there.

    Click OK

    let combofix uninstall itself.

    Let me know when you've done that successfully.
