    Running Xp-pro sp1
    Downloaded spykiller to check if I had any spyware, after I had finished I deleted the program. The problem is when I open my broswer it also brings up a window directing you to their site to purchase it and also when you start windows it brings up a pop up saying you have to buy it.Used reg crawl but nothing found and cannot see the program installed in my control panel, any ideas?
    Cheers

    Did you remove the program the correct way, via add/remove programs? Did it succeed or did any errors pop up? huh.gif

    Try removing any folders related to the anti spy application in your programs folder. Then you will need to edit the registry to remove any links/details about that particular application. A search on Microsoft Support should be in order. 'how to manually uninstall an application'
