Phantom software?

[ridgewayranger]

Hi Everyone,
I use a program called Page Defrag, no doubt some of you know of it. I removed it from my second machine, there is no sign of it anywhere when I search for it. I've even reinstalled the O.S.(XP home). When I start up Page Defrag starts to run, then freezes. Where is it hiding so I can get rid of it?
It's driving me mad!

I'm a little confused what you mean?
You had PageDefrag, then you removed it, and now you can't find it !

If you want it again, here it is: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PageDefrag.zip

You obviously didn't reinstall the OS - you just repaired it. And the very point of the repair install is to keep your old settings and programs!

If the PageDefag was on startup, then it will be running in the background. A program can't/won't completely uninstall when it's running. If you don't want the program, remove it from startup and do the uninstall.

use mike lin's startup editor to stop it from running at boot up. Then use crap cleaner to remove it. both are free.
