Cannot uninstall PriceLess

In some cases PriceLess won’t uninstall and gives you message that “You do not have sufficient access to uninstall PriceLess. Please, contact your system administrator” when you try to remove it from Control Panel or “Access denied” error when removing PriceLess folder and files. This happens, because process Priceless.exe or service PriceLessSvc does not allow you to do it. In this case I will recommend you to use SpyHunter 5 or Malwarebytes or uninstall PriceLess in Safe Mode. To boot in Safe Mode do the following:

  1. Reboot your computer.
  2. While it starts booting press F8 button.
  3. This will open Advanced Boot Options menu.
