You can get rid of it with hijackthis, a freeware program. However be advised you may need to get help to use it. If you are not fully aware of what is needed on your computer then you may wind up doing more damage than good. If you will search with Google, there are more than enough forums on line that will assist you with advice in the proper doing of it.

“Korea’s remedy goes beyond what is necessary or appropriate to protect consumers, as it requires the removal of products that consumers may prefer,”

Another way to look at this is that Microsucks remedy is that if appropriate consumers wish to remove a product, then Microsucks makes it almost impossible for the average user to do so. For myself I hate the video program Windows Media Player. Being firmly convinenced that it is eat up with spyware and that it inserts DRM overload into ones computer. If you are above version 9 of this monster, uninstalling Media player does nothing to get rid of the DRM. You only get a partial uninstall. Below version 9 completely uninstalls.

Myself I prefer open source type players which are far less likely to contain spyware, phone homes, or even malware if gotten from third party sites.

If consumers want them so badly they can just manually download and install them.

“Korea’s remedy goes beyond what is necessary or appropriate to protect consumers, as it requires the removal of products that consumers may prefer,”

Have just replaced some words anf they come out like this:

“RIAA’s (was Korea’s) remedy goes beyond what is necessary or appropriate to protect record companies (was consumers), as it requires the removal of rights (was products) that consumers may have (was prefer),”
