How to delete something from the control panel?

Hi,
The title does not say it all, you did not even tell us what it is that you want to remove. No such thing as too much info, easy for there to be not enough

 

If its an Ac3 filter then its not spyware it's as said above something that is installed as part of a codec pack and that control panel icon is the route to the codecs menus.

BTW what file of app did you install from here which gave you this Control Panel Icon?


if its the one I think it is then this is the removal instructions....

1. Goto Add/Remove and uninstall the codec pack or App you installed

2. As Wisewiz said just find and delete the .cpl file from windows32 folder and below are the manual instruction for removing all of the files

Find ac3filter.ax file.

Unregister this module from command line:
>regsvr32 /u x:\some_dir\ac3filter.ax
( where x:\some_dir\ is the files location )

Find and delee files ac3filter.ax and ac3filter.cpl

Delete registry key HKCU\Software\AC3Filter

 

Re: What is that you say???????

I left that one alone rather then get pissed and anger people needlessly. People should be very careful pointing fingers and more careful about what they install. Know what you installed, stop clicking so fast and read as the install goes through, typically it tells you where shortcuts will be placed

Same reason spyware\adware gets installed, click click click, what was that? Oh, who cares....... Probably a glitch.
