Redirected to Orbit Downloader After Uninstall

by jpboyrox Dec 10, 2009 1:19AM PST

For some reason even though I have uninstalled Orbit Downloader and removed all the temp files etc with CCleaner the freakin message keeps coming up when I try to download saying that it is redirecting to Orbit. As Orbit is uninstalled I am no longer able to download things unless I reinstall it. I tried uninstalling with Revo too but didn't work. This is annoying the hell outa me as I hate Orbit. Any suggestions?

I don't know Orbit Downloader but I saw that it supports IE and Firefox, (may be other browsers too). If you are attempting to download files through a browser then perhaps there are some remnants left, eg a browser add-on?

Check your browser Tools for the Add-ons options.
