I have come to this thread late so this may have already been said. As I understand it you are trying to delete a applet from the control Panel.
Applets in the Control panel will normally be actually programs with a cpl extension. For example if you type access.cpl in the run dialogue box you will open up the Accessibility Wizard from the Control Panel. As you have been unable to properly remove the applet through an un-install I would try the following. Go to the Start Menu and select search. I have turned off the search assistant so this assumes that you have done the same. The search term you need to search for is *.cpl This should after a few minutes pull up all the files with a cpl control panel extension on your Pc. Search through the list of results and see if you can find a file corresponds to the applet you want to remove. I would not initially delete it but move it somewhere else, just in case you make a mistake and you want to put something back that is crucial. Perhaps you should try this out first and tell us how you get on.

The old problem I had seems to have came back. It is probably because I still part of the problem in my Control Panel. Is there anyway I can delete the other portion of the virus from the Control Panel? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 3:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Bad Program Glad to hear that Revo finally removed that stubborn program.
