    This procedure uses Brute Force Uninstaller (from Merijn, the creator of HijackThis) to run a script to aid in the removal of Alcan.a.

    Download Brute Force Uninstaller and unzip it to its own folder (like c:\BFU)

    Download the attached alcanshorty.zip file and save it to the same folder you put the Brute Force Installer into. Then extract the alcanshorty.bfu file from the ZIP into that folder too.

    Start the Brute Force Uninstaller by doubleclicking BFU.exe

    In the Scriptfile to execute: box copy and paste c:\bfu\alcanshorty.bfu
    The click the Execute button to run the script.

    Wait for the Completed script execution box to popup and then press OK.
    Click the Exit button to terminate the BFU program.

    It may be a good idea to reboot into safe mode at this point and run the script one more time.
