359363 2005-05-28 13:12:00 Downloaded and installed CounterSpy (evaluation copy) . Decided not to buy it and would like to uninstall this program . Unfortunately, couldn't find any uninstall utility from their program group; also, there's nothing shown in the Control Panel /Add/Remove Programs .

How do I remove this program . Looked for the help file from within Counterspy, it says that I can uninstall it from the above-mentioned 2 locations but are all not available .

Any other way to get rid of this program?

Cheers

359364 2005-05-28 21:49:00 Have you tried reinstalling the program over the original and then seeing if you have an option to uninstall? Failing that, you might have to remove it manually, but it is a well known reputable product so should have a proper uninstall option.

Also have a look within the program files of CounterSpy and see if there is an unwise.exe or uninstall.exe file you can run manually.

If all that fails, you will need to make sure the program is not being run in the background (check with Task Manager > Processes) and under msconfig > startup before deleting the program folders and then running a registry cleaner to remove the remaining traces of it. The program CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) will be able to do this for you.
