Hello Everyone,
Trial Anti-Spyware has identified but cannot remove Lamers Death 2.6 on my PC. I would like to attempt to remove it manually and would so much appreciate a X-Pert going over the instructions I have to do so, before I go ahead. Will only have a System Restore Point to revert back to if this information (from Pest Patrol) is faulty or I make a mistake.
Could I screw things up badly following these directions?
Thanks in Advance,
sd
