Gratisware Manual Removal:
Before you can delete the program files you
must deregister the Gratisware BHO. Open a DOS
command prompt window
(Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u CRS32.dll
Restart the computer and you should be able to
delete the files 'CRS32.DLL', 'CRS.EXE',
'CRS32.REG' and either 'CRS.OLD' or 'NEXT.DL_'
from your System folder (inside the Windows
folder, called 'System' on Windows 95/98/Me or
'System32' on Windows NT/2000/XP). You can also
delete the Gratisware folder inside Program Files
and the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Gratisware
to clean up.
