I am getting frequent problems with the following Windows error messages:

"RapportService has stopped working"
"Your Computer is low on Memory"
"Close Programs to Prevent Loss"

The uninstaller failed to remove Rapport.

Why?

Rapport includes anti-removal protection to prevent malware from removing it from your computer. This is the reason for the complex uninstall process. In some rare scenarios the uninstaller is unable to shut down the anti-removal protection and as a result fails to remove Rapport.

What's Next?

We have a special utility that safely removes Rapport from your computer - for downloading the utility, please fill out the following form. You will automatically receive an email with the download link for the utility.

It did NOT trash my Registry and it HAS removed RapportService, so I appear to be no longer getting high Memory and CPU plus Firefox failures.
