I am running Windows XP Pro. Somehow, a software icon got
to my control panel, its name is "WildTangent" I have
uninstalled it using remove software, and also I have
deleted the icon from the Windows System, but when I try
to remove the icon from the Control Panel, the Delete
word on the drop down menue is greyed out. Is there a way
of deleting the icon from the Control Panel?
Thank You,
Dago.

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:
