    I'm not sure if this is the right category to post this in, but I'm having an issue.

    I uninstalled DU Meter after installing it at my parents to check their bandwidth issues. I uninstalled it, and I still have traces of it.

    I can remove it from the startup list and it puts itself back on within seconds.

    I've went through the registry and deleted every indication I could find of it.
    I've ran CCleaner and removed it, only for it to pop back up.
    I've ran hijack this and removed it, and the same results.

    CCleaner has it listed as missing startup software, but wont let me permanently delete in the startup list.

    Any clues on what I may have missed? I emailed support for the software and they said to reinstall and uninstall via the uninstall .exe in the folder, but that did not work for me either.

    Thanks,
    K

    Install it and use Revo Uninstaller to remove it
    http://majorgeeks.com/Revo_Uninstaller_d5706.html
    keep Revo's default setting of Moderate. If you are told to reboot during the uninstall, DO NOT. Cancel and let Revo continue because after using the programs own uninstaller, Revo goes through the registry and finds all the entries. When you are presented with the registry entries do not select delete all. Go through and be sure you only check/tick the items in bold. After you've done that, and only bolded items are selected for removal, you can click the delete button.
    I sometimes go through after I've removed the items and click the back arrow and change from moderate to advanced and let Revo look through the registry again to be sure everything is gone.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but even after doing it through moderate to advanced it still pops up in my startup list ;(

    Sorry, I don't know what else to tell you about uninstalling it.
