Strongvault keep trying to download every time we attempted to open other programs but could not find path to its files. Could not find anything to uninstall in programs since it had not completed it original download but we finally found the following: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall After running the above, Strongvault showed up as a program we could delete and like magic its gone.

They should call it Strong-armed instead of Strongvault! It was downloaded on my computer through a 3rd party. I had two viruses on my computer after it downloaded I had to remove. I have done everything I can think of, including deleting it from my program files, and it still won't let me uninstall. It's like my computer has been hijacked and I think I will end up having to wipe out everything and start over!!! DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!!!

Strongvault is the free version of the Stronghold software. I've seen the free version being installed through bundles on places like download.com. I also had trouble uninstalling it through Windows programs remove but was able to download the Microsoft fix it tool as well and it somehow repaired some invalid registry entries that ware preventing removal. Use Microsoft's FixIt app first to try and resolve the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall If that doesn't work, user the Stronghold installer from the following link to complete the uninstall: http://stronghold.com/app/Setup_SV.msi
