program removal

I have been using a program called adware spyware se. there web site is being moved so i can not look there. I went to control panel to uninstall this program and it said all of it was not uninstalled but I could do it manually. Well, before I go doing something crazy, I though I would ask for some help. How can I get this off of my system? After the uninstall, When I restarted the computer, it came up like it always does. It just looks like the icons are pixilated. I do not want to mess up anything. Please help. I can not find anything on google but i might not be looking in the right places.

all icons on your desktop are pixilated? or just the adware icon? and you deleted adware already?

Delete the folder Lavasoft from C:program files...then delete the icons from the the desktop..then run a registry cleaner......IE;Reg Cleaner...TADA!

this program is not lavasoft. it says by virus repeller in the title bar. the name of it is "adware spyware se" the previous website was www.adwarespywarese.com

Thanks for the help.

is it spyware? ...or legit software?.....the link you provided says future home .....if it's legit, delete the folder on c:program files that previously held the program .....then do the other two steps I said

its legit, i would have looked at the website but i got the same as you. been using it for a year or so but the damn thing wont update. You gonna be around when i fuck up the registry? lol. I do not know a lot about this stuff. I like to point and click and boom it happens.

dude, you should have learned by the 5th incarnation of windows, no one is around when you fuck up your registry.

do you still have this soft ? if yes:
1) Get Total uninstall (http://www.martau.com/) & install it
2) Take a look at the tutorial on the site
3) Apply
4) Thank me or kill me :-)

No computer gurus in your family? Circle of friends?

If you are scared to ferck with the registry..(Pussy)...just leave things asis...the few files left behind aren't that big of a deal.....just delete the desktop icons and continue with Life

I looked at total uninstall's website and it says that it will not uninstall programs that were installed before it is. Is there a way around this or what?

Nuttin to be afraid of just uninstall the folder in the Program Files then START / RUN type regedit then look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE and see if there is anything with the same name as the company that made the app, and delete it.
The look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software and look there too. That should do it.

okay, after looking in the registry I was unable to find anything. I ran "msconfig" and it was listed in the start up tab. If I disabled it, my computer started in "selective" mode. So I enabled it again and was able to get rid of it with a program called "regsweep". Got rid of it I think. It is still there but will not run I hope.

You can find regsweep where we keep the other sticky stuff. It said I had 500 registry errors. Who knows if it is any good or not.

Thanks all for the help.

you can go to support.microsoft.com, do a search for windows installer cleanup utility. its a good, free tool for getting rid of such programs. but, running a reg cleaner after would be a good idea too.
