Just a suggestion, but did you even google "How to remove Trovi" or similar?

Lavasoft just says to do everything I've already done.

The program doesn't show up in my browser extensions.

It doesn't show up under "Uninstall a program".

If I can't find it on my machine, how do I remove it????

The Trovi search engine has firmly entrenched itself as my default homepage in Chrome, Firefox and IE.

I've done the settings/options etc all to no avail.

Running Windows 8.1

Any help is most appreciated!

Sounds like the program TBS News (or is it TPN?) uses with a Thai trying to speak Engrish into it.

Pirate? was the attended wearing a black eye patch with a parrot on his shoulder

using a hook to fill up your car?

This guy could be a Thai pirate! Replete with economy parrot on his shoulder.

I got them for the Thai mother in law, They bolt on to the wall, they can be taken down and the holes filled, There is one in the front, and one in the back that open from the inside, If there ever was a fire they can get out , you can paint then to blend in with the house colours. OK they may not look good to some , but you can safely sleep at night and not worry and when your out in the day. each to there own though. and they do not cost a great deal.

Methinks those bars are a false sense of security.

A decent crowbar/pry bar or 2 X 4 board & a little willpower and those things pop right out unless they are installed with heavy wing style anchors that expand behind a hollow block..

If some local installs them, they'll most likely have plastic anchors like those used for hanging pictures.

Best option is to try and find a "decent" neighborhood, don't look like you have anything worth stealing, and don't keep a set schedule as to when somebody is at home or away.

Keep a lamp on at night with a fan blowing on something that will move and cause shadows to flicker around.....or install an alarm that's loud as hell.

Mostly don't be a soft target though.

Let it go to trial ... they have lots of lawyers and groups looking out for them

Do you believe that two young Myanmese migrant workers and/or their parents are well versed in issues such as DNA matching and what it means?

A smart lawyer does not even have to address the results of a DNA test.

They only have to cast doubt over security or contamination of the samples and that bit of "evidence" counts for nought.

Yeah, in the real world, most of the time, but TIT, where some thug with a gun & badge can just look at you and smile and say, "But I said it, so it's true".

So "Thainess" still rules out that my Thai son can command a Royal Thai Air force plane!

Hmm, well don't be surprised that if he has dual nationality he won't be able to serve in the forces at all, and that most Government jobs may be out too. This applies in most countries as it's all about not having two allegiances.

I was fortunate because my parents were wise to this and didn't get other nationalities for me and left it for me choose. When the crunch question came and I wanted a specialised job, I was in the clear. I've not taken up the additional nationalities although I could still do so and could have multiple passports. Now I'm retired I keep on thinking of changing nationality but every time I look into what's attracted me, the grass isn't as green on the other side of the fence.

Nationality is a complex, sharp and double edged sword. There are disadvantages as well as benefits.

Except in the USA (barf).... Kenyan father & American Mammy = Akaonekana Rais (that's Swahili for the President).

Yeah.......... I'm American.

You should have seen the grilling I got once from a CIA C^nt when I was trying to get a base installation pass in Kuwait years ago. (I was born in Orlando).

Have a Filipina Ex & a Thai wife & had been to CHINA [gasp]! And Algeria & 40 some odd other stamps in my passport.

Why were you in ______? All mostly for work.

I REALLY wanted say "To smoke dope" when she got to Holland, & say "To look at topless babes on the beach & visit brothels" when she got to Spain, but just said I was passing thru.

Next she asked me (not making this up), "Are you a terrorist or have you ever participated in any terrorist activities?"

No.

"Do you consume, or you know anybody that consumes alcohol in Kuwait?"

No.

I'm surprised my nose didn't jump 3 feet straight forward on the booze question.

I got pulled to the side at Heathrow once by a very polite cop wearing a vest & gun & such, and after a 20 minute Q&A he let me be on my way. It's impossible to look more Caucasian and harmless than I look.

How STUPID can governments be? Thai, US, UK, Kuwait.....doesn't matter. I have no use for them.

Sorry. Rant over.

Wow. They might actually be able to raise a real " Intelligence Corps ".

I suppose that's the other way to look at that headline.

When I first saw that headline, I thought maybe they were going to allow hermaphrodite kids from ladyboys in!

Another view, after reading the article, is that it's a way to increase conscription numbers.

Hope the guy recovers, but........Ever heard of Steve Irwin?

Or that Vegas guy?

I don't stick my hand in the fan, nor, run with scissors nor stick my finger up crocodile anuses or irritate elephants.

If it weighs more than me and has pointed teeth or spiky tails or is the size of a bus.....I stay away.

Took my wife to the Korat zoo one day & we went to see the Rhino's.

Only a steep ditch (no fence) separating us. I was taking pictures & turned around to see all 45 KG/99 lbs of her hiding behind a tree about 60 yards behind me.

The study also found that on average, the wife and foreign husband will normally return to the wifes family home in the region at least once a year, sometimes staying for as long as one month, which results in a dramatic increase in financial spending in the local area.

especially into the local mum and pop stores...

This is invaluable not only in fiscal terms.It strengthens the bond both between the wife's family with the husband,but also keeps Thai culture available for young children visiting maternal grandparents.

It also keeps the traffic cops happy pulling me over for imagined offenses.

When I first met my wife she was 27 and couldn't drive a 10 penny nail into a piece of cornbread.

She's a pretty good driver now. I just sit in the back & wish her luck.

Damned shame. R.I.P. together.

My Aunt has an annoying Pomeranian yapper.

I had the BBQ grill going at her house one day & suggested sticking a skewer up the mutt's butt & tossing it on the grill.

She didn't like that.

I really wish Thai's WOULD eat dogs. Far too many strays in Thailand.

And today's word is "HENCHMAN".

(a trusted follower or supporter who performs unpleasant, wrong, or illegal tasks for a powerful person (such as a politician or criminal) (Merriam Webster)

A lot of henching going on in the country and if they have guns, send in bigger guns and get rid of them, just like rats..

Can't wait.....for the "Crackdown" on "Henchmen".

I thought only Bond villains & Dr. Evil had henchmen.

Guessing the police were hoping they'd commit suicide in prison, or at least wished for a fast-track trial. Tough on them and I hope it all comes out and destroys careers and KT tourism (until it's thoroughly cleansed).

I see Mr Kent's name mentioned again. Why? And why is he still ambassador even?

I bet the British bobbies are relishing working with the Thai police. I hope they are familiar with this place as it'll be easy to run them around if not. They'd be better off being chaperoned by the army. RTP should take a backseat or, better still, get out of the car!

Stop believing that the embassy never does anything .

They have quite cleverly managed to get access for thr British police without annoying anyone in thailand. They have made their statements about the problems with the case quite firmly and diplomatically.

What would you like them to do? Send in thr SAS?

Yes.

I once saw a monitor about 5 & a half feet long in BKK.

I bet he weighed 100 lbs/45 kg. I doubt he could catch two geese though on one day. Maybe one.

Due to recent tumbling oil prices, I would hope they can go down rather than be 'held down'.

Several years ago oil went from $35 to $135 a barrel. Gasoline/petrol prices in the USA went from $1.80 a gallon to $3.50++ a gallon.

As the markets eased off on the prices, conniving "lawmakers" instituted a plethora of new gasoline taxes.

Hell, the sheeple (sheep - the populace) had gotten used to those prices.

I trade oil futures, & it was a blip on the charts, yet the price at the pump remains the same more or less.

The actual cost of a gallon of 87 octane gas is less than $1.00 at the pump.

The other 2/3rds is taxes that get squandered. The US State of Georgia has been milking a road construction project near here for YEARS now.

I see it all over where equipment hasn't moved for months.

Corruption, favoritism & vote buying is alive & well in the "Land of The FEE & Home of the Tax Slave".

Back on the Thailand side, what do they expect the gas station owners to do? Operate at a loss?

Price fixing has been tried by governments for centuries, as have capital controls (you have to claim export of money for scrutiny), and debasement of currency as well.

I think the earliest recorded experiment happened in Babylon a few millinea ago & wound up a disaster.

Have a look at what's happening in Argentina today. They have a thriving black market and bread-lines due to government price fixing, and have defaulted on sovereign debt twice since 2001.

What is "Pom" famous for on the internet?

His Romanized name doesn't google well.

You're not Australian are you? Neither am I but I know what a pom refers to.

Pom or Pommie is a derogatory term (to my limited knowledge) used by an Aussie when referring to British folks. I have no idea where it originated.

Us "Yanks" call them Limeys, as at the height of the British Empire, they figured out that scurvy was best treated/prevented with a dose of lime juice every day as it was caused by a lack of Vitamin C (mainly) to the sailors in their fleet that pretty much was bad-ass in their day.

I bet that lime juice went pretty good with a tot of rum .

I wonder what Limeys call Aussies???

It's all vernacular Brother/Mate/Dude/Amigo. Wikipedia.org is your friend.

Back on topic, if I were raiding a gay bar and demanding urine samples, I'd be wearing rubber gloves. Hell, I'd be wearing a full HAZMAT suit!

Then again the BiB don't even do that with murder investigations (Koh Tao). Curious how one can refuse a DNA test in a murder investigation, but must pee in a cup if they decide they want you to.

I guess you have never visited Brazil or Argentina (South America). Even the U.S. has somewhat softened its position on topless beaches in specific tourist areas. Many resorts in the Caribbean and Central America either allow nudity or have a designated beach for such. Even Turkey (Muslim) allows topless sunbathing at the hotel pools and beaches along the Turkish Rivera.

Herds of European tourists vacation at beach locations every year. Many European women prefer no top when sunbathing.

Tourist money drives the train for countries willing to cater and conform to tourist's desires! Atypical of Thailand "Money for Nothing" and the sex is not free.........

You have a valid point there.

Sure local tourists visit some tourist areas in Thailand, but if they really want foreign tourists, why can they not accept foreign ways in said tourist areas?

EDUCATE the locals, as in:

"Hey! There's a lot of white folks here in this area (Pattaya, Phuket, Samui, & various islands) & they like to get a sun tan.

Most of them don't live near a beach & it's freezing weather 2/3rds of the year where they come from! Oh Yeah, WE want their money, they don't speak Thai, many come for a simple vacation in a friendly place...

Hell! some of them even find it (perish the thought!) ROMANTIC to be in the tropics!"

No, no, no, no, no!!!!! We must educate them to do as we say and not as we do.

=============

I was once had a VERY LOW IQ Thai guy on a crew I was advising/consulting in BKK.

I had some pictures a Spanish beaches on my computer.

The guy went NUTS!!!!!!! He just HAD to HAVE my collection. I had to bluetooth it to his phone when his boss showed up. The guy's name was "Oh"...not to beconfused with another guy on that team named Oah ....

Oh was just DYING to get home and, well, you know...I'm sure he had a date with Rosie Palmer.

My Mother used to go on & on about what I was not allowed to do, such as skip church, drink, smoke etc...You name it.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence = I became a rebel in my teens. I was quite the drinking, smoking, fornicator.

I moved to BKK & trawled Cowboy & Nana & soapies for a whopping 3 months, then settled down with a super cool lady 13 years ago.

I'm no saint, but neither am I some yo-yo that's been kept in the dark all my life about the "Ways of the World" & human nature in general.

Does anybody recall the uproar over some prankster that managed to get a slide in of a topless gal in a Powerpoint slideshow that got clicked onto the screen in Parliament a few years ago?

I wish I knew who pulled that off. I'd buy him a case of top shelf whiskey.

Just on Thai news channel.

Speed-boat driver says he rammed the fishing boat because a "piece of paper" blew onto his windscreen, and when he leaned forward and removed it, a fishing boat was immediately in front of him.

Cannot make this stuff up.

First I've heard as to a reason why this happened. My guess it was one of 2 reasons.

1 - The speedboat driver was high as a kite & passed out at the wheel, and/or speeding in a crowded area.

2 - Something like the steering cable or throttle cable broke due lack of maintenance/negligence/installed a 3rd motor on a dual motor steering system...again, negligence by both the owner & skipper.

It happened in broad daylight, so it had to be one of the two methinks.

This explanation points to #1.

Remember the news story recently where the cops sent their case to the prosecutors for the second time, after being asked to clean it up, and they then said their case was now "perfect"?

Humm, I guess not.

Yeah that was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read this headline.

If the DNA indisputably matches the accused to the victims, then what is there to question aside from BS by the BiB.

Didn't the cops just say recently they were 'done' with the case & it was up to the prosecutor's office now?

If the prosecutor still thinks it stinks, then drop the case against the accused & go get DNA from Nomsod Numbnutspornoapachasongongsomtamsomnamna.

Which brings up yet another question...... Cops can raid a bar & force everyone to urinate in a cup with no warning, but some clown related to 'Influential People' can refuse a DNA test in a freaking DOUBLE MURDER INVESTIGATION??????????????????

Just pop a drug test on ole Nomsod & whoever else refused a DNA test.

CRIMONY! put a couple plain-clothes cops on surveillance & grab a ciggie butt or soda can he just discarded.

This whole "investigation" has stunk from day one, and like a rotten egg, it just gets smellier every day.

Well if the police say they didn't do it then that's OK.

I say again...

I've never heard of the cabin crew weighing a bag after the passenger has boarded. It's always done at check-in, if at all. I'd be angry, too.

I've been all over Asia, Europe, S. America, Australia, the USA, and also Egypt & Algeria in Africa, almost 50 countries (I lost track).

Never had a bag weighed after I was boarding a plane.

It was probably a small commuter plane though and TIT.

I have had air crew staff ask passengers to move around & change seats on flights that were only part full to even out the center of balance a bit.

My guess is the guy was drunk & pissed off the staff, which is never a wise decision.
