You might just
install Cocoon and then want to delete it because it is not good enough. But it
is complex to uninstall Cocoon from your PC.
Cocoon is an all-in-one plug-in that makes everything you do online
private, secure and virus-free. Without Cocoon, websites have access to your
computer to leave cookies or infect it with viruses and malware. Cocoon even
makes open WiFi access points secure. Features: Truly anonymous browsing;
Anti-virus protection; Cookies stored off your computer; Secure connection on
public wifi; Privacy on shared computers; Encrypted browsing history; Anonymous
email creation; Blocks drive-by malware attacks; History access on multiple
devices; Secure webmail access. Free account must be created and activated at
the getcocoon.com/signup to use the Cocoon service.
But, to all the
users who are running Firefox, it is not that well-expected program for them
and some of them just want it gone.
Run Windows
Explorer.
Locate the Program
Files and double click to open it.
Navigate to
Mozilla Firefox to open it. (Default path of Firefox should be C:\Program
Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
Open the
Components folder and find the file labeled Cocoon.xpt.
Right click on the
file and select Delete.
In the Plug-in
folder, right click on the file labeled Cocoon.dll and select Delete.
Restart the
Firefox.
Apart from that,
there are still some parts of Cocoon built into the registry keys.
Open the Windows
Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete on the keyboard.
End all processes related
to Cocoon.
Go to Start Menu
and then click on Run.
Enter “regedit” to
activate the Registry Editor, and scroll down all folders to find and delete
every related key, such as:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cocoon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cocoon
As you may be
aware that manual deletion of the files and registry keys may be a difficult
task, In this case, it requires you to be cautious when conducting manual
deletion. There is the other way that helps you fully get rid of Cocoon.
Perfect Uninstaller is a fantastic removal tool that can help you fully remove
and uninstall Cocoon with great success with a few clicks. Not only will this
program remove add-ons programs and allow you to delete left over etc, but it
also has the added benefit of being able to access delete all the left and
useless registry entries and values, as well as all related traces with a few
clicks. Other than that, it can also completely remove other programs like
Norton.
