I wanted to get a free scan from spykiller.com and
thought that it would be like pestscan.com (that it would
do a scan and thats ALL)-
but I followed the steps and I got the 30 day trial
installed on my pc of spykiller- I decided to uninstall
it and clicked on the uninstall part- But for the last 5
days, the icon on desktop is still there- wont go away- I
cant do the scan but I want ALL of that erased- any help
would be great-

I had the same problem. Had to manually delete the folder from
C:program files\
And delete the registry entry that launches it on boot from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
It appears to me that this is just Spyware in sheeps clothing and
shame on Download.com for posting such a piece of crap in their
downloads.
Get "Spybot Search and Destroy". I do this for a living. So far, there
is nothing better and it's truly free.
