as with all good things you would like to trust your
teenagers on this computer but then things do happen.
well one of mine down loaded a program called Cam-Grab-2LE
and there is only one slight problem with it. I cant
remove the propram from my sytstem using the unistall
programs that I have with the windows-xp home addition.

any suggestions on this would be great it doesnt take up
alot of space but enough to slow the system down.
Thanking everyone in advance.

Danny;
Go to the website of the manufacturer for uninstall information.
Also if it slows down your computer it may be running in the
background or spyware.
Open it and look for something like "Options" or "Settings" see if
there is something about loading at boot or start-up.

Also:
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:
http://www.lavasoft.de/ (Update if you already have it)
Or
http://spybot.eon.net.au/ (Update if you already have it)
