thanks layback,this is a down load page?
I want to get rid of this,is there an uninstall tool there?
can't seem to see one there

Everything I've found says its o.k. to delete it. I would certainly make a restore point first though. Have you tried Revo uninstaller? I highly recommend using it. (I've used the free version for years)

So sorry I miss posted. It belongs to the family of REVO so as indianacarnie has posted REVO Remover should be able to get rid of it.
Let us know how things go.

Here is a site with a lot of good information.

Is this safe for a novice to use? Read some pros and cons on it so I am not sure.
The only reason I want to get rid of clearfi is for some reason
it is sharing port 1900 udp with svchost.exe
I never do any media sharing anyway so I thought I would just
get rid of it.
If I uninstall it in programs and features it should end the process
so I don't have to kill it with every boot
I allready have it off of start up
I am not to concerned with a few leftovers

Made a restore point and did the uninstall through programs
it's gone from ports and task manager as well
Thanks for all your help

The question is why was clearfi running and opening those ports. That makes me think it is time to check for infections. I have never used clearfi so I have limited knowledge of it. If it was my computer I would scan for infections.

I have a realtime antimaleware and use malewarebyts for an ondemand scanner
If you think I need to go further I am game for that
Thanks again

Malwarebytes in a great program.
Here is what I use on my computer.
1. Microsoft Security Essentials anti virus
2. Windows 7 built in Firewall
3. Malwarebytes Anti Malware Pro
4. Super Anti Spyware on demand
5. FileHippo Update Checker on demand.
This works for me doing every day computing.
I use no torrents or P2P. Even with good security programs torrents or P2P will let things in your computer you don't want.
I use this program about once a month just to double check. No security program does it all.

Free Online Virus Scanner | ESET

Just a little note of caution. When downloading free programs be careful and read everything. Some sites are putting all kinds of extra things in the user agreement we never read.
Read through this and you will see what I mean. Many sites do these kinds of things not just Cnet.

Now they are hiding this garbage in the user agreement!!unbelievable!
I don't download anything free without some research first,but thanks for the
heads up on the user agreement

That is a great arsenal you have there Layback.
I don't do torrents or p2p as well.
My surfing is pretty boring for the most part,
but you never know what you might pick up.

I have Emsisoft as my realtime and malwarebytes as back up on demand,I like the highjackfree from eam
so I can keep am eye on the ports,and it has an online analysis option
Might switch that around when the licence runs out.

Just ran a microsoft saftey scan but I will look into eset.

What I gather from Emsisoft, clearfi was not listening(state was always blank)and showed as a "good" process
I had custom scanned it with eam and malwarebytes and it came back clean
So I think I'm good
Still have a lot to learn,thanks again for your help,really appreciate it.
