IDM started nagging for me today. I saw your cleaner scripts on another forum. I have a few noob questions. This nagging screen appears because of old registry entries, right? Will an application like 'Geek Uninstaller' be abble to clean these old idm registries after i uninstall idm using Geek Uninstaller? How do i use these scripts? There's no readme.
Hello, Whenever I uninstall Internet Download Manager, it tells me I need to reboot my computer to “reset internet protocols.” I’m curious what exactly it’s changing when it says that. The thing is, if I use a third-party uninstaller like Revo or BCUninstaller while uninstalling IDM and also delete all the leftover files and registry entries, the reboot prompt disappears right after those remnants are removed - even before I actually restart. So my question is: if I do it this way and then reboot, is it basically the same as using IDM’s own uninstaller and rebooting? Or could some remnants still partially remain on the system even after the restart? Just trying to make sure I’m not missing anything in the process. Thanks.
Basically, it is recommended that you format the hard disk is the best choice, be sure to choose low-level format
When prompted to reboot by IDM, select later or just cancel, let the uninstaller look for and remove any remnants, then reboot. Upon reboot, the uninstaller will remove any pending files that weren't removed initially due to them being locked or used by the system.

Who's the author of this GUI Script and also would there happen to be an Update Check blocker for IDM (not the registry one) similar to the one made by Yaschir?
Of course I know very well how to launch something with the rights of the administrator. PC name - "D1MAR0N". Honestly, I have such a mistake for the first time for more than 20 years of work at the computer ... In any case, thank you very much for the answer and for trying to help.
