    To remove Turbo Lister (TL):

    1. Do a Ctrl+Alt+Del & end any of its running processes in the Windows Task Manager applet. Close your browser too & any other running programs.

    2. Use it's uninstall executable (if it exists) in C:\Program Files\Turbo Lister (or wherever TL installed). It it's not there, move to the next step...

    3. If you've uninstalled it but its entry still exists in Add or Remove programs, then you'll have to edit the registry to remove it: Removing Invalid Entries from Add/Remove Programs (or, if this also fails, try the other solutions mentioned lower down).

    4. Finally, after doing all the above, navigate to C:\Program Files & delete the Turbo Lister folder (if it doesn't exist, then you've succeeded in uninstalling it already). (Trouble deleting anything? Use the free Unlocker.)

    P.S. Uninstalling TL at eBay
