text: how do i remove a program on my computer? i tried to open a file and my computer could not open it. i found out i needed a program on my computer to open it, so i downloaded one from the internet. big mistake. the stupid program i downloaded is a pain in the ass and it's affecting my computer. it's called 'pc mighty max' and it continually tells me there is something wrong with my computer and i have to get it to repair it. when this happens i can not do anything with my computer while it's up, and it happens every half an hour. if i tell it to fix the problems, it then says i have to pay money for it to do that. it was on a short cut on my computer and i tried to just delete it, but it said i need another program to delete it. it went off the short cuts, but i have it's little symbol down near the clock and there is no way to get rid of it. that's the bit that keeps interfering with my computer. i really need help. does anyone know how to get this off my computer? start.. settings...control panel.. add/remove.. delete said program
