Earthlink Uninstallable Software

[Atrocities]

I have to say both guys were rather polite, but I think if they were given a joice, they would chose to mow me down, along with any other American, with an AK-47. Something about us being the vile western dogs of satan or something.

What about doing the reinstall, and then sending them a nicely laid out, professional looking bill for your time.
Parts: $0
Labour: $50/hour

They might just pay it...

A follow up.

According to the notes on his account, Mr. Christopher was told how to remove EarthLink from his registry. The technician he worked with followed protocol. He removed Total Access from the consumer's Add/Remove Software file and also from the registry.

The consumer was told to contact his computer manufacturing company (i.e. Dell, Compaq) for further troubleshooting.

EarthLink's software is not spyware.

Should you have any further questions regarding this complaint, let me know.

Thanks,

This is exactly what thier software is doing.

That's not a nice thing to say or to assume about anybody.

Also, back on topic, I never install any of the junk that my ISP recommends if possible.
