How do you remove Media Fairy? I have went into Control Panel and Programs but it does not show in there. I have looked online but I cannot find out how to remove it. Does anyone know how to remove Media Fairy from the computer?

    Thanks! I think I will enjoy what is left of my birthday and try to get this sorted in the coming days when I am not at my hospital appointments.

    Look in the folder

    C:\program files\media fairy pro

    or

    C:\program files (x86)\media fairy pro

    There should be a file - unins000.exe

    Double click that (XP), or right click and "run as administrator" (vista, win 7)

    I am at the computer that has Media Fairy on it and although I can get into C:\program files\media fairy pro there is no unins000xe file visible.

    Press your windows key + R together and in the Run command box that opens copy/paste the following inside the code box then click ok.
    cmd /c dir /s "%programfiles%\media fairy pro" >>"%userprofile%\desktop\look.txt"
    

    You should see a brief flash of a black command window and a .txt file will be created on your desktop entitled look.txt

    Post the contents of that in a reply here.

    It shows Plugins, borlndmm.dat, borlndmm.dll and MediaFairyPro.

    Re-install it, then uninstall it.
