Hello
A friend inadvertently installed the software above on his machine (it appears to be a fake/malware/scam type software). Anyway I've tried to uninstall and get the following error message
"unins000.msg" is missing.
Using system restore doesn't solve the problem.What can I try next to fix this issue. I don't have much info about the machine except that it is Acer desktop, approx 6 years old, OS is Vista.
I'm of to bed now and won't be online again until tea time tomorrow so many thanks in advance for useful tips.

You may attempt to locate the files of Spyware Clear manually and delete them. However, I’m not sure that it will solve the problem. You may try to remove Spyware Clear with downloading Antimalware Malwarebytes and running a full scan. It should be able to locate Spyware Clear and remove it leaving no leftovers.0
