Windows Desktop Search giving me headaches!

[Guest]

My laptop began to get really, really slow, Page File Memory goes up to 3GB
and up, I determined that some .exe files that belongs to WDS 3.01 are the
cause of my problem, I suspect WDS is corrupt now. My laptop goes incredibly
slow, Outlook renders the laptop unusable to the point that I have to
force-shutdown it, pressing the power button for 7 secs.

I have looked over the internet on how to uninstall WDS but all the
solutions I have found have been unsuccessful. There is no WDS entry in the
Add/Remove Programs (I'm using XP SP2 by the way), reinstalling WDS doesn't
work at all, giving me a .log file, etc.

Can anyone help me on this matter? I am decided now, to uninstall WDS for
good, I barely use it anyway.

Thanks in advance.
