    Hi,
    I foolishly loaned my laptop to a buddy before he shipped off to Canada to look for work.He as a practical joke installed Optenet filter on to my laptop.This blocks poker sites and betting and other videos and is used as a parental control.A password and all sorts of things are needed to uninstall this.I have e-mailed the company that makes this but no joy.has anybody any ideas how to remove this.

    it doesn't sound like a joke, i tried downloading demo and it requires registration.
    your friend went to a lot of trouble for a "joke"
