Help with removing Pest Patrol please?

Unity

Hi,

We returned from a great holiday to find a Trojan on the PC and laptop and that my Hotmail account had been hi-jacked and used to send spam to everyone on the last page of my contacts list (back to earth with a big bump:eek:). This was despite AVG etc., so in an effort to stop this happening again we've taken advantage of a special offer with Kaspersky, for three machines, over two years at a cost of just over £31.

However the problem encountered on installing it on the main PC is that it conflicts with Pest Patrol. We had already removed this from the system a couple of years back, so all that was left was a folder containing a few read me files, log files and an uninstall file which doesn't do anything. The Windows Uninstall feature can't actually see any of this so can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance :T.

Many thanks for all your help, I was starting to think that we were stuck with it:eek:.

We've always gone for the free versions of AVG, Spybot etc., but none of them stopped this virus from Shanghai - hence Kaspersky. Although I don't like paying for computer protection, when there's so much free stuff out there, at least we got a good deal with their special offer.

:beer:.

Hi,

I've since discovered there are two Pest Patrols, there's CA eTrust's PestPatrol which is a kosher paid for application and there's Pest-Patrol which is a fraudulent scam imitation. I've actually got remnants of the kosher version, not the fraud. However I can't seem to get rid of it.

Any ideas please, as I've tried your other suggestions, but unfortunately without success.

Many thanks:T:T:T

have you tried simply deleting the offending folders ??

if you get a "File in use" message then try in safe mode
