Yes.... and No. Each of those installer update/patches includes an uninstaller. If you remove the files, you will not have the uninstaller availavble if needed. However, they CAN be safely deleted if you wish. Instead of just removing the files by deleting them though, you are better off using the Windowes Cleanuop utility along with a command line option as shown below. Get the utility here:<br />

<br />
After installing the tool, run:<br />
<br />
C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up\msizap G!<br />
<br />
And it will automatically remove any .msp files that are not registered on your system

try downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and booting into safe mode. install and scan the drive. this should remove most of it, if that doesn't then take the drive out and scan it in another system. make sure you update it and run a full scan. i have found good success with this method and it get most infections out. <br />
<br />
hope this helps.

jc makes a good point. if i had re-read the questions i may have suggested that, but i was rushing to answer questions. that's what i get for not taking my time. CA has a habit of being stubborn. i have run into this problem too, if you reinstall and the go to control panel and add/remove it takes it out. but i have also run into time where i have to do it the manual way too, so let's hope yours is the easier one. let us know how you make out.

I have a computer that was infected and I have cleaned all the infections that CA didn't protect. I found that mdmcls32.exe was related to CA and I tried to remove the program. It needed a password to remove the parental controls and the End user didn't know what it was. So I manually removed it from the registry and directory structure. Execept for a file called CCshellext.dll. I can't unregister it or delete it manually in safemode. <br />
As for the mdmcls32.exe file I can delete it but it comes back in less than 15 seconds. I tried taking the hard drive out and putting it in another computer and looked for all files with mdmc and deleted the 2 that came up and still it came back when I booted the computer.<br />
Any ideas?<br />
I also tried to do a panda scan but took over 12 hours and it was going through the C\windows\installer files. there are a ton of installers in there. Can I delete them all?<br />

I can't remove mdmcls32.exe

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
