It's not in my C Drive, but it's still on my 'populated' list in "Add & Remove Programs"..why?
I went to Google to see if I could find out, and saw this link.

Does anyone know why? and how to get if off!? I HATE THESE programs that REFUSE to be REMOVED from somekind of viewing! (Like it's a reminder to use them! )

If its still listed in the add/remove programs, normally I would suggest installing the program and then uninstalling it again to see if it properly removes itself. But its spyware so I dont think that would work. Go to the program itself listed in the add/remove programs and try to click remove. It should say this program is no longer here and will ask you if you would like to remove it from the add/remove programs list. If you havent already rebooted your computer, try that to. The only other way would be to delete it from out of the registry. As far as I can remember, you click start, run, type in "regedit" and then type in the name of the program exactly! how you see it appearing in the add/remove programs. Search for it and delete it. It will b under a registry key that says "Display Name"

i think you removed the program manualy. i mean by deleting the folder of the program your self. it is wrong. install the program again then go to control panel----> add/remove program. choose the program there and delet it by this way.
