Inquisitive asked:
I don’t know how, but the icon of an adware detection program Spy Dawn got itself installed in my system tray. Every now and then it pops up a warning that my computer is under threat and I should buy the software.
I have uninstalled the programme, but the icon still remains in the system tray annoying me with its frequent warnings.
How can I get rid of this menance?
Thanks for your help.
use tne up shredder
Go to start > run > The type ‘msconfig’ > then click on the ‘startup’ tab and look for that program. If you find it untick the box next to it and click apply. If its not in the ‘start up’ tab try looking in the ‘services’ tab.
click on run from the start menu
write msconfig
go to the startup tab
and uncheck the program you dont want to appear in the system tray.
reboot your computer
that menace wont appear again
It’d be better if you right click on it and uninstall it forever!
