I am amazed that your PC, still is working. Your system will have serious conflict with more then one antivirus program. You can also only have one firewall. If it is Microsoft firewall I recommend that you remove as it is not a true firewall. Microsoft firewall will only protect you from rogue incoming packets, but no protection for your personal data from leaving your PC, without your permission.

You can run four or five antispyware with no conflict. I run five antispyware, being all you will need is the resources. (RAM).

If the ones you want to remove from add/remove and they are still parts of the files in your system here is what you have to do.

Go to your tray, start, run and type in: c://program files, click on browse, click on program files and look to see if the name of the file is there. Delete if possible. If the file says being used by another file, reboot and go back and delete. Usually this will work.

Now go to start search and type in (you will have to type in each file name seperate), because your system will only search for one file at a time. When the system searches for the related file names, delete from top to bottom all related files. If any say being used, or write protected, reboot and go back and perform the same procedure.
