I was having problems doing an uninstall for Strongvault Backup System. I found the answer: do a forced shut down by holding the start up button until you computer shuts down. When you restart your computer Go Right to the Control Panel and Select Uninstall, Go to Strongvault Backup System and click UNINSTALL. It does delete it, really I just uninstalled it. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is hidden and cannot be remove easily. You have to use a software which is the only safe way. Visit this blog cause this is the only working for me.

thanks so much to cliff and everyone else for working hard on getting a meaningful answer to this problem .. I thought I successfully removed strong vault but alas it started popping up again. Now I've found this thread and downloaded Microsoft Fix it and I'm presently running the process to uninstall strongvault.

Microsoft fix it's been hung up on a screen called resolving problems which says "attempting to resolve problems with strongvault online backup" for almost 30 minutes. I know it's been a while since you had this problem but I'm wondering does anybody recall how long it took to remove with fixit?

Just hoping this works with fingers crossed, many thanks indeed.........

I did the cont/alt/del and then clicked on the 'Task Manager'. Guess what appeared? The dreaded My PC Backup was running! I 'end tasked' it and so far no more pop-up. I've got my fingers crossed.

I normally use CNet as a preferred site for downloading free software - I trusted CNet and have never had problems in the past, but this Stupid Strong Vault evidently tagged along with the eps viewer app I downloaded on my Windows 7 Laptop. That is the only thing I can figure out.
I even went into the registry and deleted the keys for Strong Vault, but it persisted. Darn POS.
Seems that "Fix-it" has worked...

Ive tried microsoft "fix it" but it cant find strongvault in the unistall screen. there are a few that are "name not avialble" so i click on the "not listed" option and it tells me to enter the product code of the program. Strongvault doesnt let me delete its files and has killed interent access to my computer. How do i find the "product code" of strongvault or should i try to run fix it in safe mode?

I was hit by this Strongvault too (and a "Delta Search" that came with it). I think we should compose a list of where the strongvault hides. I will start with my experience. I contracted this thing from a website when I tried to download the latest firefox. A website inpersonating Mozilla slipped my attention. When I hit the download button, Strongvault was installed. I cannot put the link here, but if you search "firefox download" in google, this site appears on the top.

Lessons learnt: Mozilla is a .org site, not .com. A .com site claiming to have firefox download is aimed to slip you one.
