How to Remove TOPicks?

Follow these steps to remove TOPicks from your machine,

1. Open a DOS command prompt windows (from Start->Programs->Accessories), and enter the following commands:
   
   cd "%WinDir%\System"
   regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\ToPicks\Bin\HtCheck2.dll"
   regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\ToPicks\Bin\IdmUp.dll"
   regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\ToPicks\Bin\TPReg.dll"
   regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\ToPicks\Bin\TpBar.dll"
   regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\ToPicks\Bin\DataMgr.dll"
   regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\ToPicks\Bin\idmcom.dll"
   regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\ToPicks\Bin\htps.dll"
   
   (These commands may need to be changed accordingly if your Program Files folder is called something else, for example on a non-English Windows installation.)
   
2. Open the registry editor (click Start > Run, enter regedit) and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. On the right pane, delete the entry 'ToPicks starter' (pointing to Idhost.exe).
