Default Earthlink Uninstallable Software

Ok Last night I finally got around to uninstalling all of my old Earthlink crap. I ran my adware program and it identified, confirmed, that much of the Total Access Earthlink software was indeed active spyware. So I had it uninstall it as well.

Now every time I click on a file Windows Installer starts and tries to REINSTALL Earthlink Pop-Up Block, Total Access, and other.

So I go into RegEdit and delete all the Earthlink folders and crap. Reboot, and still I have the problem.

So I call earthlink. THEY HAVE ME DO EXACTLY WHAT I JUST DID. All of this after an hour on hold.

Well I reboot, the guy says my problem is fixed and hangs up. This is what you get when your CUSTOMER SERVICE is located in ANOTHER F**KING COUNTRY!!

Well no my problem has not gone away. It is still here.

I am very displeased about this and how Earthlink is SO DAMN HARD TO GET A HOLD OF, and how STUPID their support staff appear to be.

To me this kind of evasive self installing spy ware program should be illegal and I should be able to BILL Earthlink for the cost of GETTING IT OFF OF MY SYSTEM!.
