Uninstalling (pc) games downloaded via torrents (1 Viewer)

sry if this seems stupid..but how do you do it?

Well, you could just delete them . Or if you got an installer file, run it and see if there's an uninstall option (or use the add/remove programs control panel). There might even be an uninstaller in the program folder. Really, it's the same as you would usually do to uninstall a game you got any other way.

Pirated games are different to normal ones?

If it's simply a 'rip' version of the game then you delete the folder? Otherwise you Uninstall from control panel.

Maybe he's asking how to uninstall the virus he got along with the game

some games will have an uninstaller, some will not. if your version doesn't have an uninstaller then simply delete the folder and use CCleaner (or similar) to clean up leftover files and registry.

Reformat. Or, just delete the registries it creates, and the folder.
AND not all pirated games contain viruses.

just go uninstall in control panel usually, works for most pirated games and all games in general

if you simply delete the files, then youre stuck with the registry things which are a bitch to get rid of if you dont know how to do it properly

if it isnt in the control panel, then look in the folder where you installed the game, there should be an uninstall .exe there
