    The most obvious one that comes to mind is "system restore" to a date before you downloaded the application.

    you don't say what OS you have if it's XP the click "start/control panel/system and maintainence/system restore" and choose a date to restore your PC to.

    in Vista click "start" and type in your search bar "system restore" and then do the same choose a restore date.

    You will not loose any Data, music or photos. Only apps installed after the restore date..

    With system restore you will lose NO DATA it will just put your computer back to a time before you installed the application.

    Which Windows versions does xpy support?
    xpy has primarily made for Windows XP. It has been tested on Windows XP Professional and Windows 2003 Server. Due to the similarity of all Windows NT 5.x versions, it should also work on Windows 2000 and Vista. However, there is a special version for Windows Vista availabe.

    Hi Bill

    I think you are corrrect but i found this on the authord source forge site

    so hopefully i didnt cause too much damage

    currently doing system restore now while using internet on old laptop
