Hi,

"unins000.dat" is needed to uninstall a program

Reinstall SpywareBlaster and Spysubtract in the same folder ( on top of themselves) That should replace the unins000.dat files. Then, leave all protection disabled and try to uninstall then both.

Thank you for reply. To what "protection" do you refer re: disabling, before i attempt another uninstall? Thanks again.

If any of the programs you want to uninstall has an icon in the system tray you have to right click that icon and select "exit" or "close" or something similar.  The uninstall will not work if this is not done because the program is running.  Maybe you do not have icons in system tray for them but better to check first.

Thank you. I had to reinstall both programs (SpySubtract & SpywareBlaster). Then i THINK i successfully uninstalled both.  Thank you for the help.  Only remaining spyware programs are SpyBot, Ad-Aware and SpywareGuard, and the only one "running" is , I think, Spywareguard. Hope MSN is correct, and that one of these deleted programs was creating conflict.  Thank you again.

You`re welcome.
If they are no longer in Add/Remove Programs they will have been uninstalled.
Hope it is fixed now
