MSAS keeps finding DownloadWare and each and very time I uninstall it it
comes back. I've used Google.com for instructions on how to remove it. I
can't find any traces of directories or files relating to DownloadWare. I
even searched the registry and nothing is there. I scan in safe mode under
all accounts using MSAS and nothing comes up. What next?
