Uninstalling Real Player

[Jacob Rosse]

Ok I have just reinstalled windows and somehow the crafty shit has wormed
its way onto my machine already. Its been picked up by zone alarm trying to
get at the internet when it isnt even running. Anyhow, whats the best way
to uninstall it? I know the uninstaller doesnt really uninstall it and I
know from past experience that deleting all its directories and registry
entries will get rid of it for a couple of days before it reinstalls itself.
I need to get rid of it and prevent it from ever returning and hopefully
kill the brainless wankers that wrote it.

RealPlayer does not install itself! I have used it since 1998, and have never
had any problems with it. It does have a program running in the background to
check for the default media file types being changed by other programs, but you
can disable that. With RealPlayer 10, you can also disable the message center.
