I accidentally downloaded an application called "Parents
Friend" thinking it was another different security app.,
turns out it is actaully a program that his=des itself
after installation. I need it gone, but it came with no
uninstallation files and I can't find it!
Really Appreciate It!!!
 
I'm assuming you cannot remove this by add/remove software in Control
Panel. I don't know what you mean by "his=des" but there are a variety
of methods and techniques to deal with this kind of software.

I would start with a free, small program called HijackThis (do a
google search) and see if it finds your Parents Friend app. HijackThis
will also find unwanted customizations to IE.

Next time do a backup and/or a restore point before you try out
unknown software!
