I would like to delete Web Crawler from my computer.
When I'm playing a game it pops up in place of the game.
So would you please tell my how to delete it from my computer.

The program was intended to help webmasters increase their security. The actual virus was appended to this program years after we abandoned the project, and redistributed. I have no idea who did it... I dont even have the source code any more... :)
