I got this security software with my D-Link router call Freedom Security" made by Zero-Knowledge. I tried removing this program however it will not allow my to remove it through the Add/Remove Program wizard however it can not be removed.

anytime i try to access a program on my desktop i get a Fatal Error saying "cannot start freedom because the RESOUCE directory or one of its sub-directories is missing , please try to reinstall freedom

When I try to reinstall it wont allow.

tried safe mode , didnt work , but i did back the system up. When i hit F8 to boot to safe mode it had the option to "restore" to last known ......... i didnt choose it but now i cant get back to that when i hit F8 at boot up

If I backed up XP how can I revert back to when i saved at that point?


Thank you for the help

You can't uninstall might be because it's missing some files...so try to reinstall the program to the same directory, then uninstall it :)
