Regardless, you should look here www.mindzon.com

What is it keeping you so busy these days? (conversational - not
fishing!)

Thank you for the advice, Dustin. I will pass on your comments to
Clive.

Surely there is something that can be done to stop companies like
Uniblue peddle their wares on the Internet?

Have you and or others posting on these groups made any kind of
official complaint about what you term 'Scamware' ?

If the products really do harm, something *should* be done to stop
them.

Maybe there's something I could do to help in this regard? Advice
welcomed.

Did this simply slip your mind, Dustin?

It's not important! :)

I just tested Revo Uninstall and it works great. I had a real mess with
Adobe Reader 9.3.3. Windows XP would not get rid of it. It kept
checking for an update but would neither update or uninstall. Revo
Uninstall swept it away, registry keys and all. I installed Foxit
Reader. Problem solved. I would very much recommend Revo.
