Why does WksCal.exe keep running and using up lots of processing power, even after I have uninstalled Works on my computer?  How do I get rid of it?

    Thanks in advance to those considerate people who do Bill's work for nothing!!!!!!

    Seems now Bill has our money in his hands he cannot be bothered to give assistance. Let others (unpaid do his work for nothing!

    This question has hung here for going on 6 years like a turd waiting to drop!

    Works was bundled with Word on the program I bought so downloaded itself with Word (although appeared separately.I did not want Works, so uninstalled it using Revo Uninstaller Pro. Microsoft wants to uninstall it themselves - no problem. Once complete Revo searched for and located more than 42 bits and pieces still remaining.

    Revo deleted those scraps.

    I did another "Forced Uninstall" with Revo and nothing was found.

    EXCEPT - - - -

    two new !@#$%^&* popups appear every time I boot up;

    " Works cannot access one or more files. The files may have been renamed, deleted or moved. Try reinstalling Works again and starting the programe again.

    [ O K ] "

    Then a second notice appears:-

    " wkscal.exe - Application Error

    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application.

    [ O K ] "

    A Windows search for wkscal.exe finds one programe which - when clicked  - brings us those two signs FULL STOP

    .

    I am not a computer nerd and require help.

    Thanks in advance to those considerate people who do Bill's work for nothing!!!!!!
