Uninstall We-blocker
Does anyone know how to uninstall We-blocker software without a password? I'm looking for file deletion information and Registry editing. Or a way to retrieve the lost password.
I need an answer very soon or else I will have to reformat my harddrive. I am unable to use any internet browsers or tools. Unchecking the "use Proxy settings" in IE does not correct the problem.

Support ISN'T as available as they advertise. I've already been to their website and made several calls only to leave messages for which support called back when I was no where near the computer. I want the software uninstalled with or without their help asap.
Go to START, then RUN, type REGEDIT and hit enter.
Now first you need to back the registry up, FILE, EXPORT
Now do a search for we-blocker and every key it finds delete it, do this until you can find no more. hopefully this will fix it.

How long has it been installed? if only for a few days then you may be able to restore the registry (if Win98) or use system restore (WinXP) to restore you to the time before you installed it.

Unable to find anything in the registry under the name Blocker that launched values or changed proxy settings. This is on a Win98 system and I didn't have a backup of a previous registry setting. The program has been loaded for several months.
I ran out of time, so went ahead and reformatted the hard drive. I am planning on deleting this question.

I gave you the answer to your question in my first comment, sorry if you did not like this answer but it was the correct answer. Format and clean install is not an answer but a cop-out. I feel the question should not be deleted since the correct solution to remove the password was given.

This software work in the opposite way of most shareware software, with most shareware you can download and try for free for a certain period of time, this software is free to use but if you want to remove it then it costs you $10. Or you can format the HD. Got a nice racket going in my opinion.

Hi Mach1pro,
I must agree on the statement of rayt333 that a correct answer has been given and I'm surprised that you didn't reply.

Humm, looks like a rip off to me. Free download but they charge you to disable it or remove it?
