Procedure to uninstall CheckPoint NG (R56)

[seaktf]

I've launched the uninstaller of "Check Point SecuRemote/SecureClient NG with Application Intelligence (R56)", however, the uninstaller icon just stays on the task bar.  The process of uninstaller is still inside the memory running for more than 2 hours and it won't go away.  I don't know what to do with this piece of shit.

I think I would just kill the uninstaller process and clear the rest by hand.  But I need to know what the uninstaller is supposed to do.  Eg, what files to delete, what registry key to delete, etc.

I've spent half an hour in the website of CheckPoint but couldn't find the least info about this.  And there's not even a FAQ section!  And we have to buy their support service even it's only for one question.

OK, I've got enough.  That's why I write here to ask for help.  Anyone knows the uninstall procedure of this version?

TIA

Go to the CheckPoint web site and download the CPClean utility - it is free, and it cleans your system like you never wished for. But make sure that you do the right thing - if you have ANY other CheckPoint product installed on the same system, it will be wiped out as well.

You should use CPClean instead of the uninstallers.  The only time the
uninstaller is really helpful is when you want to revert to a previous
version of code, but with SR or SC, it's much simpler to just wipe it out
completely using this method.  Do keep in mind though that this utility will
remove ALL Check Point software, including any GUIs that are installed.
I've found that it's easier to use this & reinstall my GUI, but you may not.

Thank you for all your suggestions :)
CPClean does clean lots of things, however, I found that it can't clean some registry keys because of unknown reason.  It's not a big deal, I did that part manually.
