Hi,
First off I am a complete newbie when it comes to computers, so any help would be appreciated.
About a week ago I downloaded the trial version of PC Tools Spyware Doctor. Then I went and did something stupid and wrong, I downloaded the serial number for the retail version from a naughty crack site. Well the serial worked for about a day and then expired, so I uninstalled the program & deleted the setup program.
Now I recently downloaded the program again to install and this time it asks me for a registration number before I can open the program. I realise this must be some punishment from the company and rightly so, but I would like to be honest this time & at least try the trial version. My question is, Has the program put something into my registry or somewhere else that shows that I have tried an illegal serial before & how would I get rid of it?,
Thanks for any help,

R3z.

Hi
Yes there's an entry in reg. Otherwise with trials at the end you could simply uninstall, then reinstall. The fact that you entered a serial #, means it will continue to require one.

Just use Spy bot, Adaware and Microsoft antispyware they are all free and should get most if not all.
