UpdateStar
      #395792 - Sat May 31 2008 08:37 AM

I installed this program a long time ago, and thought I had uninstalled it. But when I went into the control panel to try to find out why my computer was running so slow I found it was there, and cant find a way to get rid of it. Could this be the problem, and how can I get rid of it

Either backup your registry or create a system restore point
Click Start | Run, type in Regedit and click OK

go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\

search for UpdateStar and right click and delete the entry.

Also search in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
and delete the entry

In Windows Explorer, go to individual user settings and delete relevant program references.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserID\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserID\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
