Help! GreasyPalm/rebate catcher!

I am trying to clean up my desktop.

Rebate Catcher is installed using 3,419.00MB - now is it just me or is that a lot? :confused:

I want it gone :mad:

It is some kind of tracking thing, it must be as it is used frequently...

.. anyways, when I try to uninstall it just says instal log can't be found.

I want to completely clear the PC up.

Can anyone help?
:cool:

    I think it is supposed to monitor your movements so that if you shop anywhere and forget to log in to Greasypalm, the cashback should automatically be paid into your Greasypalm account.

    I've never installed it, so I can't be of any help. Sorry.:confused:

    If it is not showing in your add/remove programmes I can't think where it might be hiding. Have you tried just doing a search for the file to see if it is buried somewhere? Or how about searing your temporary internet files to see if it is there?

    the question is.;)
  • Hi. I had the same problem. Rabate catcher appears in add/remove programmes but when you click on remove it says install log cannot be found. I removed all the files I could find with rebate catcher or greasypalm in title but some files must still be there because when I go to certain sites the rebater catcher window still comes up and sometimes I get redirected to sites I didn't want. Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

    Why are you wasting your time with a very poor cashback web site anyway besides a 2 year old thread

    My advice ditch Greasypalm and use Quidco or topcashback you can get over 50% more cashback on many merchants
