keebellah Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi, I'm new year and have a question: I was over enthusiastic and downloaded AND installed Effects-MegaloPack.Paint.NET.v25 and Paint.NET.MegaloFileTypesPack.v18. I was warned beforehand but ignored it that it might slow down Paint.Net starting up What is the best way to remove those I do not want? I can see the folder and remove them manually but there are several default effects and filetypes I want to keep. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

david.atwell Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Delete everything in Paint.NET/Effects. Everything. Then redownload any plugins you need from this site. The Paint.NET forum is the ONLY safe source for plugins. 2 Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 ^ quite correct. Delete them ALL then scan your system thoroughly for viruses. Paint.net's built in effects are not provided as separate files so you cannot erase them. They are part of the application. Good luck with the virus scan! 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
