How to Uninstall MagicJack software (MagicJack removal tool)

Tutorial for the Permanent Removal of the MagicJack Computer Software

Notice/Disclaimer: FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Version Number One instructions were posted as a comment to a blog via an online search, and referenced as instructions provided by MagicJack Tech Support. Version Number Two instructions were obtained directly from MagicJack Tech Support (Tech Chat), and Version Number Three instructions were provided in response to a query on The Unofficial MagicJack Forum. This blog assumes no responsibility, nor liability for the accuracy, source, and validity of these instructions. The instructions are reprinted here for informational purposes only.

At some point, and for whatever reason, we all have a need to remove computer software. In fact, the MagicJack Terms of Service (TOS) lists a specific condition under “Termination” (Section 14) is the removal of the MagicJack software from your computer. Up until a few days ago, the TOS also referred to using the MagicJack “uninstaller” (should have made a screenshot).

“MagicJack confirmed that there is currently no easy way to uninstall the software. The process required to uninstall the software requires multiple Windows Registry edits and the removal of several folders on the Windows system.” - www.etech.eweek.com / Jim Rapoza

Once the MagicJack software has been successfully installed, nowhere on your computer will you find an “uninstaller” provided. You will not find it in Start>All Programs, nor under Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel. This is because an uninstaller does not exist.

I have posted these instructions as possible solutions until a very much needed MagicJack Uninstaller is announced by MagicJack. Nobody should accept having to leave unwanted software on a personal computer, or any tell-tale trace of the MJ program on a public computer, a business workstation, or a borrowed device.
