What program is Strong Vault connected to?

I suddenly found this "strongvault" program on my computer after installing "VLC Media Player".  It has caused havoc.  I now have error messages when I am trying to open important programs for mmy business.  It has also caused a fatal error and has stopped "SOS messaging from working.  Anybody know what I can do about this.  Why don't the people at "Strongvault" or Stronghold, or whoever they are have a large box asking whether you want to install their program before allowing it to just try to commandeer your system??? Some programs now tell me the data cannot be found and has been moved to a different location.  I believe this may have legal ramifications, since the moved information is propriety and confidential... I need immediate help before I contact the legal channels for this mess.  I hope the folks at microsoft can help!

We do not do anything that would cause files from other programs to be moved or deleted. It sounds as though the messages you are seeing are referring to the Strongvault uninstaller not being found, which is part of the Windows installer glitch others have reported in this thread. Use Microsoft's FixIt app first to try and resolve the problem:

If that doesn't work, user our installer from the following link to complete the uninstall:

http://stronghold.com/app/Setup_SV.msi

Depending on the state of your system, when you run it you will either get the option to uninstall or it will reinstall. If the latter, run it again after the reinstall is complete and you will get the uninstall option. Either way, make sure you do not right-click anywhere during the uninstall!

If you are still having problems after trying both of these, please contact me directly at craig[at]stronghold.com with as many details as possible on what you are experiencing.

Thanks.

Your first link worked perfectly thanks alot. What about Bob

It's all the same with you guys who defend the undefendable.  You simply either do not know, or won't tell the truth.  I have new 64bit win system, running at 3.5 gg hrtz, 16 gig ram. I run graphic applications.  Quite suddenly, I began crashing, lost work, display driver not responding.  I was dumbfounded.  In my task manager, I found strongvault running.  Running?  I did not even know what it was.  I had a clean install, a fresh machine, and your product was RUNNING? 

 

Perhaps you need to be educated in how virus's began in the first place.  Some little script joke on  a friend.  A face or something poped up and said boo' or hi, or something.  Innocent at first, until the little scripts interfered with other system functions. 

 

Whatever it is, I can see it in my process and apps, yet I can not find it anywhere in my search. Why is that?  If it is so good, why do I now know how it came into my system?  Does the word 'insidious,' mean anything to you?  I am so fed up with corrupt software companies who carry an air of respectability.  Strong vault has messed my system up to such a degree, that I have lost income for the last few weeks.  I can't find it, and can't get it out.  Just like a Virus.  How dare you insult any of here with legit issues, by saying 'Your program has done no harm.'  Are you going to compansate me for my lost work? 

 

People, this guy and his program is another to avoid. 

 

YOu from Strongvault, I don't need a reply from you.  In my opinion you are a spin doctor of the lowest order, who makes a living fixing the problems you create for others.

I haven't read all 13 pages on this issue, but of the ones I have read, your level of anger on this issue seems to match mine.  I am absolutely incandescent with rage about this Del Boy outfit and their evil practices.  I agree with everything you say and you said it so well!  

I found Strongvault on my laptop three days ago (the 27th January), so they are still operating in a totally unprofessional way all these months on from the first complaints.  I DID NOT download this "rogue" programme onto my computer ( I already have cloud backup), so why would I download another backup system? 

I found the orange shield icon all over my task and start bars and tracked it down to my download folder, so deleted it.  Then deleted the icons. They reappeared and then I started getting pop-up ads - even one with music - made me jump out of my skin!  Really frightened by now as have lost two laptops to hackers/viruses.  I could hear someone else clicking on my laptop earlier today (yes I swear!) - so I pulled the plug on router but expecting it to crash any minute as even if this cowboy outfit are legit, their software may be an open door to hackers/trojans.

I have tried to uninstall via control panel but a message pops up to say "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".  They have done this via a piece of script I bet, just so that they cannot be installed.  That has got to be totally illegal, let alone immoral.  B******s!

Do I really want to go onto their website and use their systems to uninstall as they suggest, no I DO NOT - but I am forced to do so - will report back when I have tried.  I think that we should spread the word on this and at the very least should contact Trading Standards?  Are there any bodies that regulate the Internet/Software producers?  I am all up for writing a press release.
