How to delete mchinjdrv.sys in xp

BRIEF RANT ABOUT A-SQUARED ANTI-DIALER:

FIRST JUST LET ME SAY THAT I LOVE EMSISOFT'S SOFTWARE ESPECIALLY THE A-SQUARED LINE! :cool HOWEVER A-SQUARED ANTI-DIALER FREE SHIPS WITH MADCODEHOOK SPYWARE! :confused WHILE BY ITSELF MADCODEHOOK IS A LEGITIMATE PROGRAM; IT IS USED BY HACKERS AROUND THE WORLD TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR KEYSTROKES! THATS RIGHT BOY'S AND GIRLS; ANYTHING YOU TYPE THEY CAN SEE! FURTHERMORE UPON UNINSTALLATION OF THE ANTI-DIALER SOFTWARE THE CODEHOOKS REMAIN LOCKED IN YOUR REGISTRY TO BE EXPLOITED BY ANYONE OR ANY PIECE OF MALICIOUS SOFTWARE THAT RELIES ON THEM THAT JUST SO HAPPENS TO ACCIDENTALLY JUMP ON YOUR COMPUTER! SO WHY EMSISOFT? IN MY OPINION IT IS SIMPLY IRRESPONSIBLE AS A SOFTWARE COMPANY TO SHIP A PROGRAM TO ELIMINATE SPYWARE WITH KNOWN SPYWARE SOFTWARE IN IT AND FURTHERMORE LEAVE THE CODE HOOK POINTS IN THE REGISTRY UPON UNINSTALLATION OF SAID SOFTWARE FOR HACKERS TO EXPLOIT! :mad
