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 http://www.unhsolutions.com/ and go to its Context Menu Option and now remove the flashget entries.

Infact Browser Sentinel is the best browser protector.

Besides installing new softwares...........arent there any tweaks to clean up all the traces of Flashget........My Pc is slow and i really hate installing new softwares that may put on extra load on my already slow PC........Plzz suggest a better solution........Thanx

[swatkat]

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.

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

Here's the screenshot of Toolbar cop.. 2 pics....two becoz during first screen capture i missed the items that were listed below in the toolbar cop Report..........Plzz help me eliminate other unnecessary items too that slow down my startup.........

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.

[swatkat]

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".

I am still confused about these entries are these really not required.......would deletting these cause any error in the system.......Plzz explain

Thanx a Lot ...SWATKAT.......I sucessfully deleted all the Flashget traces ......

One new problem...I cannot see the thumbnails u have posted in Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2..........I had to use IE6 to view these......What to do abt this???

[swatkat]

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.

Thanx o lot Swatkat.............One more help I require form u??????? I have SifyBroadband connection home........I have Symantec Antivirus Corp edition 8... licensed installed ..........using it.........Sify offers a McAfee Viruscan Package free to all its customers......Should i take the McAfee Viruscan Package licensed free.............or should i stick with Symantec..........Which amongst these is Superior In detection and removal........I have read several reviews but to Know about it from an expert like u would really be of great help.........u might have seen it running for real........Plzzz advise!!!!!!

[swatkat]

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.
