Hi everyone,

I am a novice when it comes to fixing computers.
But this time I have tried to fix my computer my self because it did have several vires on it, but thanks to Spybot S@D :angel:I believe that most of them have gone.

During the time of trying to down load Spybot, I downloaded two or three other Search and Destroy programs :oops:by mistake which I have deleted, except for one. Now that I have the correct spybot s@d on my system I want to delete this last program. but it's not allowing me to do this:spider:, the program is called SafePCTool.
When Spybot does a scan of my computer the program comes up clean, except for three red messages which state
Main.Ico-utiledeprotection
Recyclebin.Ico-utiledeprotection
Support.Ico-vario.antiviris

Could someone help me in trying to delete this software from my computer.
