Remove WinAD. Removal instructions

I found winclt.exe in the program folder Winad Client containing winad.exe. The former was also running in the background.
I couldn't find any such registry keys and there was no winad2.dll to unregister.

Couldn't kill winad.exe and winclt.exe processes. They automatically restart themselves.

remove execute permissions for yourself, then stop the processes, the delete them

there is an uninstaller in control panel add remove programs

Add / Remove programs worked for me.

That guide made it seems like someone knew what they were talking about. But, it was TRULY worthless. Winad.exe and Winclt.exe processes stop up the second you end one. Also, scanned the registy, no help there.

add or remove programs its WinAd Client you can remove it there that is the best way

Launch XP in safe mode. Remove c:program filesWinad directory.

Run regedit, remove all references to winad, and wnad. Remove all files int eh c:windowsprefetch directory. Reboot, Winad all gone.

Do the same for Web_Rebates.

add and remover programs worked for me too

i went through all the steps including task manager and the deleted winad just kept reappearing. finally used add remove programs from controlpanel and got rid of it.

UGH...people, why manually delete it when you can download the automatic removal program to delete it? Stop crying you can't delete it...you CAN.

Startup tab - untick Winad.exe and that stops it running on reboot - then just delete from C:Program FilesWinad

Apparently there's a new version. . .

No one would write an article unless they tested the results. More than likely the original version did not restart itself, now there' s a new version that restarts the process as soon as it is stopped, and has a .dll file. it's located in x:program fileswinad client (x=drive that contains your windows installation)

Add/Remove Programs (accessed from "the start button>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Winad Client" works for this version (which is not detected by virus scanners)

For the first version, follow the directions supplied here.

The restarting version I have runs even in SafeMode, even when you uncheck it, and REMAINS on the computer even after you run the add/remove in the control panel. I'm an IT manager and my office is baffeled at getting rid of this one. A call in to our business client support at Symantec had no help for us, but explained it posses little to no threat...

go off line go to add and remove programs,remove winad.scan again and delete if any remaining files.should delete them now.

add and remove work for me

Add/Remove in the control panel worked for me

They automatically restart. locate the folder the files are in, right-click on each file and rename it, change the .exe to anything else. You can then delete the files and kill the processes and remove winad completely.

I allowed WinAd to install itself to startup, then successfully uninstalled from add/remove programs in control panel. Advice: Get WinPatrol (free) and this shouldn't happen again.

Recently my underage children had this program appear on their computer. It stole resources, messed up the computer and forced me to have to spend considerable time fixing the problem. I have decided to file a lawsuit against the maker of the software...however I have no idea who it is. Does anyone here know?

Winad is running on my computer and does not appear in the Add/Remove section of control panel.

The orgin of winad is listed as media AccX.dll
