If you have SafetyNut on your computer you will see processes such as safetynut.exe and safetynutmanager.exe running in the Task Manager. SafetyNut is installed with a program called “Movies Toolbar”.
A few of the anti-virus programs are detecting SafetyNut. Here is the scan result from VirusTotal for one of the files:
- Kingsoft Win32.Troj.Generic.a.(kcloud)
- Malwarebytes PUP.Optional.SafetyNut.A
- ESET-NOD32 a variant of Win32/Toolbar.SearchSuite.D
Are you looking for removal instructions for SafetyNut? Easy, just uninstall the Movies Toolbar and SafetyNut will be removed as well.
Did that completely remove SafetyNut? Please let me know. If not, I’ll provide an alternative uninstall method.

I found the safetynut.exe uninstall and uninstalled it but it left behind its folder tree and DLL’s.
They wouldn’t delete because they are apparently still in use but I haven’t tried a reboot yet or safe mode. I’m using windows XP.
removing movies toolbar dosnt help
I think you need to reboot your machine, after running the Movies Toolbar uninstaller, and then the Safetynut files should be deleted. Did that solve the problem?
i couldnt find the uninstaller so i removed the process from msconfig. and it worked. Thanks anyway.
Thanks for your advice. Safety Nut totally crashed my computer but this solved the problem. Really thanks…
Movies toolbar is somehow not available in the add/remove programs for un-installation. I found the uninstaller at below location on my machine.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Movies Toolbar\SafetyNut
double click the uninstall program inside the above folder and safetynut will be uninstalled from your machine.
Thank you!
For me it’s taking really long to uninstall… Help? It’s been stuck at 30% for a long time (It started at 30% too D; )
have been using Bit.Torrent build 7.8 and Windows home Premium for some time . No probs. Downloaded Bit.Torrent build 7.9 today, AVG identified safetynut. removed it, now i am stll at Bit.Torrent build 7.8. Repeated steps same result. I’m cool with this – i just want to stop getting update remincders from Bit.Torrent. Any advice? TIA.
