you never heard of a false positive?? It's completely safe, been using it for years. It's from MDL forums which is very popular

Of course I did. but if I have a tool for this operation directly from MS, I now which one would I use... or at least try first

Did you try Microsoft uninstall tool?

I said a couple days ago to first reinstall Office and then try to uninstall Office again. What do you have to lose?

Note I had already tried Office Scrubber but it failed to remove Office.

==================================================

I downloaded Microsoft Toolkit. When I tried to run Microsoft Toolkit.exe MalwareBytes sent it to quarantine. After I restored it I went into MalwareBytes and set it to ignore this file. Once I did this I could run it.

You should be able to do this with Defender. With it you add this file to exclusions.

Ok... let's try this. Revo Uninstaller seems to be able to uninstall things even MS doesn't want uninstalled.

Download Revo Uninstaller Free - Remove unwanted programs easily


Find Office 2010 under Uninstaller or under Windows Apps, highlight it, then click Uninstall at the top center.
After it's done it will offer to scan the registry for leftovers. Let it do that, and delete whatever it finds.
It may show you some other leftovers after that...delete all those as well.

Let us know how that works.

Well, are you running any 3rd party antivirus or encryption programs?
