Hi, I have the problem that when I restored my computer to an earlier time I
had uninstalled Threatfire but it is still there and I can't get rid of it
now. It is stopping me from downloading other programs! When I try to
delete the folder in programs it tells me that I can't as I do not have the
rights to do it even though I am the administrator and sole user of the
computer. I have used CCleaner to try to remove it but it does not work
either. I have tried in safe mode also. What next?

Start - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs

Probably should run some kind of registry scanner/cleaner after it's
removed too.
 
Never, ever use a Registry cleaner!!!!!
Quickest way to screw your computer!

If you have to work in the Registry, you do it yourself manually, or get
someone competent to do it manually!!!!!!!

"Probably should..." What's that supposed to mean? A helpful
recommendation? Bad advice, propman. Really bad advice!
