Sorry, I should have said I had done this already. I've gone into add/remove and
deleted these both. I've intalled them again/removed them again a few times after
that first time. I've gone back through and deleted all files relating to the programs,
rebooted and still their wizards ask me to install. I've been warned that I should
be careful with my registry, however if it's just a registry clean (something I can
do without volunteerily deleting items) then would you mind if I got a link from
you to that cleaner? I've been given Ad-aware Personal 6 (on disk) by a friend,
so after I do that I could reinstall the disk copy of Ad-aware to run another scan.
I've run off about 8 scans since this whole thing started, but I'm really willing
to try anything.
