start > run > msconfig

Have a look on the Services tab (tick the Hide All Microsoft services thing) and the Startup tab and clean out anything suspicious. Then reboot to see if it still does it. If it does;

start > run > regedit

ctrl+F

search for things like "attractive clock" or the name of the "company" that wrote it or whatever. If you come across stuff that's obviously to do with it, either clear or delete the keys and entries.

Did you even TRY this? That should fix it.

And did you actually UNINSTALL it, or did you just click "Delete"?

I went into "add and remove programs" and uninstalled it. I'm positive.

EDIT: And I forgot to do that.

be careful in regedit you can seriously damage your computer if you delete the wrong thing
