    i have the sbc self help tool that keeps popping up when i start windows, i went to add/remove and its not listed, then i went to the program folder found the uninstaller and when i clicked it, it said that i need to remove it from the add/remove, what do i do because i can't take it off.

    I would try re-installing it, then uninstalling...hopefully the re-installation will recreate the entry in add/remove programs.

    If/when it does appear in add/remove programs, I would try using CCleaner to uninstall it.

    Hmmm.... sbc is yahoo, but I can't find anything there or on google...does the program itself contain any links, or URLS? Specifically, I would check under 'About' on the help menu, if that is available!

    ok i found my old sbc disk and tried that and it had an option to install sbc self help tool, what it does is that it links you to a direct download from a site, its called sstsoftware.sbcglobal.net but if you just type that in it does not work and i did find sstsoftware, i did download the exe so right now i will try to see if it works or not.

    i talked to sbc tech support, they could not figure it out, so they transfer me to level two tech support, nothing. they said to find the ipvnmon.sys file but i don't have that file on the hard drive, its not anywhere. when he called me back and left a message he said that i might need a program but got cut off, i think he was talking about something like ccleaner but that does not have it listed either. so any help would be appreciated.
