the previous (Subject: how to remove; my search spyware Name:Coly)is a BOGUS message - it does NOT delete any software, spy or otherwise. It is a set of instructions to delete the UNINSTALL information for a program. Following these instructions will make software IMPOSSIBLE to UNINSTALL without much manual registry editing, etc. READ THEM CLOSELY run regedit.. goto windows list of uninstall data (SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\UNINSTALL) delete the entry. congratulations - you have just deleted Windows' "add/remove programs" entry for this software. you have not deleted your spyware, you have just deleted windows' information on how to remove it.
