How do I remove cursor mania from my computer?


Question Posted Tuesday November 23 2010, 10:06 pm

I have NO idea how to delete the Cursur Mania that I downloaded. It definitely wasn't what I thought I had on my old computer and now it's messing everything up, even on my facebook.
How the heck do I delete this thing?!

May I also suggest running a scan with MalwareBytes:
