If necessary, you can directly boot Windows into Safe Mode to perform the uninstall.

Step 3: Delete Associated Leftovers

Though Rising Antivirus has been removed from the list of installed programs, some of its components, like registry entries, invalid shortcut or installation folder, still linger around your system.

Note: Be truly careful when you make changes on Windows Registry. Serious problems may be triggered if you make any misoperation there. You had better to delete the entries after making a backup copy of the registry. We highly suggest you to utilize an professional uninstaller or a registry cleaner to handle this task painlessly.
