[Closed] How do I remove Internet Guide if Updater removal and control panel did not work?

I used the Updater uncheck box method, and the control panel network connections/properties method, somehow the Internet Guide is still not off my laptop. I missed unchecking the Barracuda preference on Install. So I reinstalled the Updater, tried again. I still cannot get it to remove.

I never had an Internet Guide, and my account wasn't even active at the time, so I have never even tried to configure one. I set up an account tonight in an attempt to get rid of the restrictions, but failed that as well.

Anyone have any additional tips to rid myself of this horrid thing?

I have used dyn dns off and on for over a decade, and this is horrible. My first complaint with your services.

This isn't "our" service, we're all customers.

If you've worked through the answer here and you're still using the Internet Guide then it may mean that you've configured it in your router or DHCP server. Please provide the IP addresses listed for DNS servers when you run ipconfig/all in a command prompt.

@radsimu - I was going to reply with a comment, but it needs more space.

First, please ask your own questions, don't post your rants as answers.

Second, you've got a number of facts wrong.

You are asked about the install when you install the update client.
No stealth - see (1)
Barracuda provides the blacklist, not DynDNS, and you can provide feedback on errors

I don't know about http://Ask.com since the last time I installed the Internet Guide service it didn't install any http://Ask.com components.

,internet guide sucks. I also happen to have a dinamic dns on http://freedns.afraid.org on the http://mooo.com subdomain. For some reason, internet guide blocks it saying that the domain is KNOWN as malware/virus... which is funny cose the same ip is also mapped to dyndns... but on dyndns domain everything is ok...

Also the way internet guide is installed is very cheesy. You installed this thing on my computer whithout asking me about it. The way it operates looks like some very well thought hack. It somehow overrides many browsers configurations instead of changing them (so that users couldn't simply change them back in a uniform manner, as they were used to).

The fact that you install this thing by stealth and block pages which are totaly ok, just a manner of dicouraging the competitive applications out there, actually give away your lack of proffesionalism.

Also your affiliation with http://Ask.com is really a bad ideea cose they are known for their agressive, semi-malicious methods of advertising their search engine.

Now don't go about thinking that I am part of any competitive company. I really am a simple user which really got pissed by this internet guide thing. I searched alot for how to remove it. The search assistant thing is also very missleading to uninstall. All browsers have fields for their keyword search engines, but you chose to override those, by some dns redirecting techniques... I strongly recommend you to change this type of advertising.
