Getting rid of kontiki?

Can't rid my computer of this insidious programme!:mad:

Originally installed C4 on Demand, and was quite pleased with this. Then at a later date attempted to install the BBC equivalent: the I-player. This is where the problems started, it wrecked my computer and also appeared to sabotage the C4 OD. Apparently each programme uses the peer to peer "kontiki".

I've tried "K-Clean" to no avail, and really don't want to set the system restore to a pre C4 OD date as I have added several programmes since and really don't need the hassle and time wasted re-installing them.

Please any ideas?

      • 3. Locate and double-click the KClean.exe program
      • 4. You will see a security warning message - Click 'RUN'
      • 5. KClean.exe now opens, displaying several options
      • 6. Click 'SELECT ALL' for KDM Options, KDX Options, and KService Options, so that all of the options in these 3 categories are ticked
      • 7. Click 'OK'
      • 8. A warning message appears asking if you wish to continue - click 'YES'
      • 9. Wait a few moments while the components are being removed

    • Have you tried using Kclean in safe mode?
    • Safe mode, sorry, how? :o
    • Reboot your computer, press F8 key as your pc starts and choose safe mode

      once your system is loaded in safe mode, run the Kclean from the location on your hard drive.

      What problems are you having that makes you say that?
      Apparently each programme uses the peer to peer "kontiki".
      4oD and the BBC’s iPlayer are Kontiki. It’s basically the same program with different appearances. Imagine the same sofa, but with different throws and cushions on it.
