Can't uninstall or remove programs..
Can anyone tell me how to remove programs when you can't download, can't get into system restore or control panel. I attempt to remove programs in control panel..when I can get in there..the computer locks up..same thing when I try to open anything on desktop other than windows files. I get on Crazy Browser by going through Start and My programs. I can't get in Explorer, Slimbrowser, Foxfire or MSN. . However when I'm on line everything is still real slow and not right. I feel like I have a spy ware program running and it's trying to stop everything. I ran Avast..it works..and no virus shows up.
I downloaded Enditall but I can't open it..can extract, but when I try to run..system freezes. I've tried uninstall from my programs and system freezes..any help would be much appreciated. I'm not very computer literate. I did build this one, but then forgot everything. It has operated perfectly for about 3 yrs. until now.
When it locks up I have to just turn off at tower..and I get a note to wait on Microsoft Anti spyware to finish running..then it says program not responding.

Do you have any other Spyware/Adware tools at your disposal?
If you can download Adaware SE or Spybot S&D try those. The othe program you can get if you can get to the site, is HiJackTHis (Current Version 1.99.1)
Download it from here: http://www.isecurity.org.uk/downloads/hijackthis.exe
Download Adawarese from here: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-...6.html?tag=pop
download Spybot S&D from here: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Searc...5.html?tag=pop

OK Thanks..I can download just can't open anything..I'm in safemode right now and was able to go into control panel to remove programs...that would remove..some would not. I also went into system restore..but all the dates I tried would not work and I went back a couple of months.
Anyway everything works fine in safemode..but soon as I get out it's all the same..everything I try locks up the computer.
