PowerStrip Manual Removal:

There is a 'PowerStrip' entry in Add/Remove Programs, but it requires an Internet conection and ActiveX to work, and only removes the toolbar itself, not the updates checker, commission hijacker or the installer control (which can be used on any web page to reinstall PowerString).

Manual removal

Open the registry (click 'Start', choose 'Run', enter 'regedit'), and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Delete the 'LSvr' and 'LTDMgr' entries on the right. Now find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete the 'PowerStrip' entry.

Next, open a DOS command prompt window (from Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter the following commands:

cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u "\Program Files\PowerStrip\PowrStrp.dll"

Restart the computer and you should be able to delete the 'PowerStrip' folder in Program Files, and the 'Presentia' folder inside Common Files (in Program Files). You can also open the Downloaded Program Files folder (inside the Windows folder), right-click the 'PowerStrip Setup' (PSOCX variant) or 'PSSetup Class' (PSSetup variant) entry and choose 'Remove'.

If you like, you can also delete the registry keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerStrip and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LSvr.Application to clean up.
