Greetings,

Anyone has positively removed spyware/ adware/ malware/parasites i.e. xupiters and other apps as memory meter, calender, etc. completely without reinstalling the OS?


I have cleaned up the registry and and cleaned up the directory but it shows up again. It even piggybacks on another process. So, the user can't even see PID's in the task manager.

Any suggestions?
