    HERE'S HOW TO UNINSTALL IDLE BUDDY (The stupid annoying thing that nobody wants or asked for)

    1. Go to C drive, Program Files (Ours had 2 Program Files. I picked the 2nd one titled Program Files (x86)
    2. Find a folder called IdlingBuddy
    3. Open up a folder called Uninstall
    4. This opens up this weird blue window, where the text was really small for us on a high def monitor.
    5. At the bottom in the white part of the screen is a CAPCHA thingy. It's hard to read, but type in the code in the bottom white box, not in the white box in the blue area.
    6. It may take several tries, but keep trying. I think we had to do it exactly correct, meaning it's Case Sensitive.
    7. Here's the trick part. After you type in the code, don't press return.  But go back up to the blue box and click uninstall.  If you type in the CAPCHA then hit enter, it won't do anything. You have to type it in correctly, then click on the uninstall link in the blue part.
    8. It finally uninstalled the stupid thing. So annoying.

    Hope that helped. Let me know if it did.

    Yours,

    First, I couldn't uninstall Idle Buddy until I found it's folder on my c drive under c:\program files\idlebuddy. Inside that folder was an uninstall.exe program, which, when executed, brought me a window similar to the one you show above.

    It took me a few tries, but inside of that IDLEBUDDY blue window was a white small box near the lower left hand corner, and in that white box I typed 6 or so distorted letters into the CAPTCHA box.

    When I typed those letters (the way my eyes undistorted them) into the OTHER box to the right, then the program went forward and uninstalled itself.

    I tried using UNHACKME.COM trial to uninstall, but it never fully succeeded, and IDLEBUDDY re-spawned itself on every reboot, until I successfully FOUND the uninstall.exe and then typed in the correct CAPTCHA numbers into the white box.

    Follow the steps here.

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. You might be able to skip the step with HitmanPro. (30 day free trial if needed)

    This did not work since there was no folder called Idleing Buddy.
