On my relatives Win7 laptop she had over 2400 'files' found by Spycatcher which we attempted to remove.

Removal was successful and re-scanning showed it was clean.

However- in Programmes and Features there still appears a program called Dregol which is apparently a browser hijacker.

Although it does not appear to be running, using 'uninstall' does not remove it and I can find no other reference to it anywhere.

Can anyone offer any suggestions about how I can remove this from the 'Programs and Features' list and eliminate it from the Laptop.

Thanks
