Hello,
I'm using Windows 10, and any updates stop installing at 50% due to Avira.
However, Avira is completely uninstalled on the system and after reading Microsoft's and Avira's documentation, I found one remnant called "avipbb.sys" in the System32/Drivers folder.
I've been unable to delete this file no matter what.
I've tried:
-renaming it
-changing ownership permission to my current user over the Drivers folder (doesn't allow me to change permission successfully)
-using specialized tools such as FileAssasin, LockHunter, IObit unlocker, Blitzbank, and Unlocker...all of which have failed.
-running command codes as admin to remove the file
The error message always says something along the lines of access denied, no permissions.
Would appreciate any help or assistance on how I can get rid of this file once and for all so I can update windows.
Thanks very much
