When I try to do it It comes up with a Cannot remove without CD or installation disk. I never had a disk! The Program... Micro.Net Framework 3.0 Service pack 2 Dell 8200 Winxp IE8 sp3 I have tried the microsoft route but I just got totally confused! Sorry for my ignorance.

From: Hank Arnold on 28 Jun 2010 05:42 If you know the name of the virus, you could research the major AV sites for help. You could try MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware program. Probably the best uninstall program out there today. I would recommend you use the most aggressive option they provide. Also, I would suggest trying to uninstall from Safe Mode. http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/personal-pc-assistant/ On 6/27/2010 5:47 PM, Acf wrote: > How can you delete safely, a program, that was downloaded by mistake, > and do to a virus, cannot remove > it in the normal way.
