I am unable to remove Digital Line Detect

Hello.

I aquired a Dell Dimension 2350 a few years ago and just recently I noticed a program called Digital Line Detect in the program files folder. I would not have posted anything but it is taking up 9 gigabytes of my C: drive and I am unable to uninstall it. I read up on it and so far believe it to help connecting to a modem? I do not need this program and would rather have the 9gigs to use for different processes and am looking for a way to get rid of it. Please help!

    You can remove it via add/remove programs. No way it should be taking up 9 gigs of space.

    I have tried many times to use the add/remove tool.  When I do it goes through the entire process.... loading uninstall window, blah blah, and asks me if I want to remove the program and all components associated. I accept and when its completed it is still there. I've also tried a file shredder program and it announces *Access Denied* and wont let me touch the file. I've killed the program though so the process has stopped working but I really need to get rid of the entire thing.

    Try using ccleaner to stop it from running at startup then try uninstalling it.

    Sounds like the installation of the program is corupted - try to install the program then reboot and try add/remove again. You might have to try to stop the process as you stated - ccleaner is a great program that will let you do that and much more.
