Hello rawf23, Be careful what spy programs you get and from where you get them. The best way to do this is to go to the software manufacturer website and find out what the proper uninstall procedures are. What are the names of these programs and where did you get them ? Why do you call these "Hidden" programs? Are you saying that these programs do not show in Windows Add/Remove programs ? You can start CCleaner. Then go to Tools > Uninstall You will see a list of all the programs that are installed. Find the Program that you want to Uninstall and highlight that program in the list. CCleaner will use the uninstall program that the program software manufacturer provides. To do this you must highlight the program and select "Uninstall". Do not "uninstall" any other programs other than the Spyware programs that you are talking about. Reboot the computer after the "Uninstall" is complete and you have closed CCleaner. If these programs will not "uninstall" then come back here.

pwillener Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 CCleaner can clean many unneeded things from your computer, but not spyware and other malware - that is not its goal. Try Spybot and run a full scan on your computer; that should get rid of most spyware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted July 22, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2008 Also check out Rouge remover it will take all the fake malwares off your computer ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Jamin4u Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi all, I think rawr23 is talking about spy programs that keep tabs on people without their knowledge. Like maybe your kids or spouse. These programs install in a stealth mode. I would follow daveys advise for removal, by checking with the software manufacturers website. Get back with us for help, or to let us know how you did.
