Gracias Senor
one way is to search for the name "Flashget" in the registry and delete those entries.. your problem tells tht the reference created by Flashget is not removed and this can b done manualy only.. so go to registry editor and delete the references with the name "Flashget"

Download Browser Sentinel 2.0 from *www.unhsolutions.com/ and go to its Context Menu Option and now remove the flashget entries.

Infact Browser Sentinel is the best browser protector.

You can remove the context menu entries of FlashGet by using ToolBarCop. It's a small executable file, which doesnt even need installation. Download it and post the screenshot of it.

Right off the assembly line
Or what u could do is try out MIcrosoft antispyware form the microsoft site.Its a spyware cleaner too so u'll get an advantage of removing other pesky programs and since you dont want to hae too many programs on ur pc at a single time u could just uninstall it and install it whenever u want to use it :wink:

Click to expand...

Microsoft Antispyware is free and will remain free forever for Genuine Windows XP users. It does not load your system too much and is an excellent
anit-spyware software.

Click the thumbnails, and save the image files to Hard Disk. Then boot in SAFE mode, and run ToolBarCop, and right-click the entries in red box and click "Delete".

You can leave those entries as it is, they are related to somw Windows components. If you have already removed, there will be backup files in the folder where ToolBarCop is present, these will be .REG files. Open those files in NotePad and then look for the entry you removed, when you find the correct file, close NotePad, and simply double-click on the .REG file that is to be restored.

Both are good, but that McAfee offering from Sify may be a toned down version of the real McAfee Virus scan.
Anyway it's better to stick with Norton.
