If you have style XP,you will need to change a whole mess of things,and this
does include stuff hidden away in the registry, (TGTSOFT &Style XP run a
search) Also there is a start line in the win
configuration,(kernel=kernel.exe) These need to dumped and the page saved.
The re-install spack 1,then Spack2. The adware residesin a folder called
Resources,look forit, but make sure you know what you are doing before you
delete anything.
