Remove a program?

Question

I want to remove a program that I got online but when I try to uninstall it my computure just freezes. How can I remove it because I'm afraid its a trojan horse or something like that? I've already tried doing it using the control panel but doesn't work....just freezes! The program is BS player. I dont know if knowing what it is might help. BS player is a player to play music and video, but now I just want it off my computer. Please Help Me!

Answer 1

First remove it from startup
click on start > run.
Type msconfig. Press ok.
Click on Startup tab.
Look for BS Player in the list.
Uncheck its name from the startup list.
press apply. press ok. press restart to restart computer.
Check the window that appears after restart, press ok to close it.

Now you can go to control panel and add/remove programs and then uninstall it.

Boot your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 when the computer is rebooting and by selecting safe mode as the boot option if you can not uninstall in normal mode. Try to uninstall BS player in safe mode.

If it does not get uninstalled yet then the best way to remove unwanted programs which you can not remove from add/remove dialog in control panel on your computer is to remove it from registry. If you are comfortable with manually editing registry, otherwise use registry cleaning software like RegScrubXP to remove the entries of offending
software from registry and then use a cleaning software like ccleaner to remove other files such as exes, dlls etc created by the offending program.

of its entry and press the button Fix selected entries.
