Re: ABC Scrabble, Webhancer, etc.

An afterthought for those who want to un-install Webhancer.

Perhaps you'd like to know how I did it?

BOclean had stopped its activity and deleted the .exe, but without BOclean's help, you will need to do something like the following.

(1) (May not be needed) Get hold of Unlocker.

»ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

and install it.

(2) Navigate to the Webhancer folder (usually C:\Program Files\Webhancer\) and delete everything you can.

(3) One or two files may be locked. Use Unlocker to unlock them, if you can. A .dll is the most likely problem. Don't try to unlock the .dll - I found this hung/crashed Explorer.

(4) Once you have all but the .dll deleted, re-boot, and delete the whole Webhancer folder.

(5) Use your favourite registry editor to clean up all references to Webhancer (not for the inexperienced, but I recommend TuneUp Utilities)
