    Complete removal of Pc_Cillin Antivirus!!!!

    Hi there all,

    Do not know if any one has had so much problem removing this from a win XP systerm. I have tried so hard to remove this hidden application from my machine but to no avail been in registry and the systerm32. This application is preventing any other ANTIVIRUS APPLICATION from being installed as it keepts promting that this programmed needs to be unintalled first before any other installation of any ANTIVIRUS Tool. But I can not find it anywhere to remove it. Have looked on google and seems few other poeple have had this problem but no much solution on how to deal with it. The hidden worm as it has to be is called PC_CILLIN some stupid name that is. HELP any one it is driving me crasy as I do not even know how it got there.

    thanks all.

    Try the uninstaller on CCleaner. Never failed me yet...
