1. I have a dumb question... by xocusunr. 2005-03-27 21:03:19
There is no way to remove it and we had no knowledge of the damn thing bieing installed. it has to hold up!
Nothing works! Who the "f" developed this program???? I"m willing to purchase an airline ticket and stop in for a little visit.
Anyway, Adaware, Spybot, Registry Crawler and everything under the sun is not doing a thing. Who has been successful in getting this garb off their machine? And how????
I can say, 4 days later, my computer is clean again.
