A Pest from Where?

Hi. I uninstalled QuickTime a couple of weeks ago and made sure all files
and registry entries had gone. As this ap will, it has sneaked back several
times but now seems to have accepted that I don't want it.

My problem is that I cannot get rid of a persistent message telling me that
QT has been uninstalled (which I know!) and asking if I want to reinstall
(which I don't !). Can someone tell me if there is any way to zap this
pest,please.?

My IP is AOL.

Thanks.

Try this:

Then this little tools if the above fails:

or this:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html

Be carefull with autoruns! It will identify pretty well all startup
items but it's up to you to be certain that they are safe to turn off!

What about msconfig? Nothing showing in there relating to quacktime?

Hi, John John,

Great to have your response.

Will work with all you have offered and post back in due course.

msconfig did have the QTTask.exe but that was removed.

Thanks.

Hello John John,

Well that was sorted!

AOL and Quicktime are a partnership. Quicktime is installed when folk
sign-up for an internet connection with AOL.

Any attempt to uninstall QT will result in the message at log-on (see my
attached gif previous post this thread).

A stiff letter is on its way to AOL.

Thanks.

Ben.
