Yes, it comes with its own uninstaller.
I've tried uninstalling from Programs. I've tried uninstalling from Add/Remove Programs. No luck
I went into Safe Mode and went to Device Manager and found a ton of Linksys entries under Network Adapters but when I tried to remove them I got a message saying they cannot be removed because they may be needed to boot the machine.
I restart in normal mode and go to Device Manager but there is nothing that says Network adapters.
I also unchecked it in the Services tab in System Configuration Utility - no change.
I ran Regedit, went to HKey_Local_Machine\System\Current Control Set\Services\<drivername> and changed the "Start" value to 4 which means disabled - no luck.
So is there no way to make CCleaner "forcibly remove" the program as was suggested to me?
BTW this is Windows XP.
