Delete Unwanted Microsoft Program

How can you delete safely, a program, that was downloaded by mistake,
and do to a virus, cannot remove
it in the normal way. E.G.Control panel, Add and Remove . When I try
to do it It comes up with
a Cannot remove without CD or installation disk. I never had a disk!

The Program... Micro.Net Framework 3.0 Service pack 2

Dell 8200 Winxp IE8 sp3

I have tried the microsoft route but I just got totally confused!
Sorry
for my ignorance.

The reason I need it deleted, is that Auto Update keeps trying to
update it, and it fails, and scools to
to fix it, because my compuert in in peril!

assuming you are talking about windows xp, vista, or 7.... use system
restore to bring you back to a point in time prior to the installation.

If you know the name of the virus, you could research the major AV
sites for help.

You could try MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware program. Probably the best
uninstall program out there today. I would recommend you use the most
aggressive option they provide. Also, I would suggest trying to
uninstall from Safe Mode.

one other suggestion... the .net framework failed updates (and
constantly retrying) is a total nuisance and pretty common problem.
microsoft has a .net removal tool as do some bloggers and once .net
components are removed then if you can reinstall it along with all of
its update if you want.
