| 814443 | 2009-09-27 20:40:00 | can't uninstall it,it just brings up the program when I hit the uninstall button in control panel,but I'll try malwarebytes and see how it goes.Thanks Peter |

| 814446 | 2009-09-28 05:26:00 | Its actually quite easy - have a read of this article (www.bleepingcomputer.com). The trick is to disable system Restore, stop the process running, and double check the files / reg keys have been removed. ( listed at the end of that article) - if still there manually delete them ( just be careful they are the right ones) Run Ccleaner first - from my sig if you dont have it. In Malwarebytes run a FULL scan not a quick. You should also run Spybot S&D after Malewarebytes. If it still wont come out there are other ways, like using Combofix (www.bleepingcomputer.com) - But dont use that yet, as it pays to have system restore active - on the odd occasion it can screw up your system - hence the need for restore. |
