Just type in Sweet IM wherever you see "Pesky" below.
DELETING PROBLEM FILES OR SOFTWARE FROM YOUR PC
Lets assume the problem File/Software/Virus, etc. is named Pesky and you want to remove it from your PC.
Where ever you see the name pesky below, you will need to insert the actual name of the file/software/virus, etc. that you are trying to remove.
Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove any PESKY programs residing there.
Now click on Start > Search > For Files or Folders > All Files and Folders
type in PESKY in the top box and let the computer do a complete search of your hard drive.
When it is done, click on Edit at the top of the window and click on Select All
Then click on File and click on Delete. It will ask you if you want to remove them. Click on Yes.
If you want to REALLY finish the job:
NOTE: DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE IN THE REGISTRY OTHER THAN WHAT I MENTION HERE. If you are not familiar with editing the registry and you do other things you may give yourself some big headaches.
Click on Start > Run >
type in regedit
click once on the very top directory in the left hand pane to hilite it.
Hold down Ctrl + F; this will open a search window
type in PESKY and then click on Find Next
when it finds an PESKY entry, right click on it and select Delete and yes. (Do this if it is a folder in the left hand pane or if it is an entry in the right hand pane)
Hold down Ctrl + F again and repeat the process until you have cleaned your registry of all PESKY items.
This may be a very tedious process so hang in there.
When you think you have it all out. Go back up to the top directory in the left pane, hilite it, and search for PESKY once again just to make sure you didn't miss any.
Once you are completely done. Reboot your PC. This will reset the registry without all the PESKY entries and you should be rid of your problem.

Ive heard it is sometimes to show software companies their 'talents' so they can get jobs as anti-virus software writers
