removing programs is not so simple....

[slimcan]

Took the advise of this forum and removed a bad program that was causing IE to get pop up. It was called context tools. However, I did see the folder was still in c drive programs. I removed that folder also.

Is there a program out there that will completely removed a program? It seems there is more to removing programs then just one click.........

Control panel => Programs => Programs & Features

There you simply choose a program you want to uninstal and push the button "uninstal"

Maybe it helps. Or you need to find all files with the name of this prog in search and then delete them.

the answer definitely is to run regedit...in the registry look for your program and delete each item it shows and each time press del...then enter...then f3..run it two times also, bill

You can always just format your computer, clean install of windows(not reinstall). I think that would pretty much remove the viruses, Trojans, spy ware, etc. Seems like you have a spyware or something. Try running a antispyware program such as lavasoft adware, spybot, spyware doctor, etc. Make sure you update the program before you scan. Also, try scanning it in safe mode, i think its like F6 or something when you boot the computer up. Safe mode is better since some of those programs wont load up.
