Like above post said. Format. It always best in things like this. Takes along time I no but better off in the end. I no the format doesn't take along time in fact that takes only about 12 mins. It just all the god damn updates. :(

Manual uniinstall and delete could work... But is risky.

Use system restore.

If that doesn't work, adwcleaner + malware bytes.

I have similar problem but with Quicktime. I can't uninstall it at all even though I could do the same with the other Apple programs. I am using Windows 10 btw.

I sounds like you acquired some malware while browsing for some internet porn. System restore should be able to set things right again. Although in Windows 8 it is no longer called system restore; it's system refresh I think. And going forward, you should use a browser plug-in that disables all scripts when a page first loads, and then let them run for sights that you trust. Third party scripts embedded in web pages that have untrusted links is how all this malware crap gets acquired.
