How to Remove Internetwasher?
There should be an entry for 'Internet Washer Pro' in the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs feature if it is an full installation. Use this to remove the software, then restart and delete the 'Internet Washer Pro' folder in Program files.
Then open Downloaded Program Files in the Windows folder and delete the entry {421A63BA-4632-43E0-A942-3B4AB645BE51}.
