## How to Delete BridleBuddlesService.exe and BridleBuddlesClient

There is a group of files in this directory: *%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\bridlebuddles\bridlebuddlesservice.exe.*
The files you will find there are labeled *BridlebuddiesClient and BridlebuddiesClient.exe.config* and you need to uninstall them.

- Start *Malwarebytes* and run a Scan: It should detect many additional Adware and Registry Entries the Virus installed and is able to Quarantain them.

- But the Software BridleBuddlesService and BridleBuddlesClient keep running as you can see in Task Manager

- You can enter the Programm File Path: *%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\bridlebuddles\bridlebuddlesservice.exe.*, but you cant delete it eather cause the Programm runs in the Backround.

- *Dont run the uninstaller!!*

- Open the file *.config* and remove the lines refering to startup. After that you can stop the Client *BridleBuddlesClient.exe* in the Task Manager and Delete it entirely.

-> **Notepad ++** must be run as Administrator

- You can use a simple CMD Command to kill the programm if it trys to start and delete it:

```CMD-Command run as Administrator
for /L %i in (0,0,0) do Taskkill /IM BridleBuddlesService.exe /F
```

- During the runtime of this command you can delete the Program :)

- After that you run a command to delete the Service:

```CMD-Command run as Administrator
sc delete BridleBuddlesService
```

- Hope that helps
