We are very appreciate for everyone who have tried the previous versions of our software.  But, during many development cycles bug's revealed and fixed. 
Therefore, the software may "leave" some unnecessary components that may interfere the newer versions.
This guide is aimed to explain how to uninstall and delete all Privatix Network components from your computer.
