Unlocker

[DanDaMan315]

I'm running Windows XP 32-bit. I installed unlocker to try and get my utorrent program to work right (long story short I got that working, not with unlocker). I didn't find unlocker useful so I uninstalled it. I checked my msconfig and the program still starts up when my computer starts up. I disabled it from starting when my computer boots up but I don't know how to remove it totally from my computer. My AVG anti-virus doesn't recognize it as a threat, so I'm at a loss on how to remove it.

You uninstall Unlocker from add/remove programs.
Also I'm using uTorrent and Unlocker just fine together with XP 32bit :X

As seen in bold I did that. Unlocker didn't solve my problem so I don't want it anymore.

Re-install unlocker, then run Revo-uninstaller as described above by WildHorse.
Then reboot.

I'm just worred that revo-uninstaller is the same kind of "spyware" program. I'm very suspicious of all freeware applications in that regard.

Revo is excellent and malware free. It came highly recommended.

There is a portable version, as well. If you rather not install freeware on your system, portables are great. Just stick them on a USB drive and let them run from there.

Revo is very safe. Used it for quite a bit.

Install spybot. I've found that their startup entries tool is very useful. MSCONFIG will only disable startup entries. Spybot can completely delete them.
