Problem Summary: Unable to remove Deal Spy
I tried removing Deal Spy using the uninstall wizard, but it asked for a 7 character code from an image, but no image was visible.
I then tried using your Deal Spy removal tool, but when it finished running, it just said that it didn't find any problems on my computer. Deal Spy is still installed.
The system is Windows xp
Many thanks,
David
