when i try to remove a programme from add and remove it sometimes says can not remove,or just wont remove,i seem to be loosing a lot of disc space fast ,i have Defraged,run spyware optimized deleted files,but the c drive seems to be shortening fast????also do we need all these upgrades by windows????

You could try running CCleaner, it has an Add/Remove programs utility. http://www.ccleaner.com/

If you are talking about the security updates that MS provides, if you want to keep your computer as secure as possible, then yes you need them.

Thanks again bryan,

No problem, glad I could help. CCleaner is a great little program that i use quite abit.

Are you sure, those are legit programs, you installed yourself?

Hi Broni,
Yes i did install them myself,its like uniblue registry booster downloaded to clean and look for adaware,when you click to remove it does nothing.
Thank you for your reply

Two things...
1. Any program with a word "registry" in its name, is either worthless, or even dangerous. The golden rule: don't play with registry. There is no reason for it.
2. For programs, which don't want to uninstall, there are two main options:
- reinstall over the top, and try to uninstall again
- use Revo Uninstaller: http://www.revouninstaller.com/

Hi BRONI,
Thank you for your reply i will remember the instructions,not what to install,being a self taught computer addict i seem to do ok even my children are coming for advice,a little knowledge is dangerous(ha ha ha ).
I will try that.

You're welcome

Sometimes there is a uninstaller in the folder that the program initially installed in to.

Thank you 123runner,i will try to see.
Let you know how i get on
love healing and peace
