I doubt you'll need it, but I tend to keep the most recent few just in case (just how many depends how often I get round to turfing some out) - since it's a fairly small file, it's not going to do any harm to keep it.

Gamerhippo advertiser:- It leaves a 3" by 3" screen with sound to bottom right of urban 75 screen or any internet browsing screen, It's driving me crazy because its not in uninstall.
Acer aspire-4 gig- 32bit op
Windows Vista ' that won't upgrade (kinda sad box really but no dosh for a new one)
It's old as am I so i'm not even going to try looking in the registry. Can I be rid of Hippo easily or do I need a computer person?
I suppose I'll need a computer bod but there is no harm in asking is there?

They want money and I don't trust online sites, see i'm not puter savvy at all.
I usually end up with even more crap to deal with.
Thanks for your help, i'll probably go to a bod when i get to the end of my tether.
Tried this one:- http://gamerhippo.com/deinstall. If I was 100% confident of it working I would cough up, but this puter is out to get me
.
I tried the registry thing on another puter once and killed everything, not doing that again
If there is no sure fire free thing, then i'll leave it, but big thanks to yoo's

where does the money bit come in ?
I can't find any reference to gamerhippo being anything other than legitimate.
If you mean Malwarebytes - it's only the realtime version you pay for.
It finds stuff your AV passes as OK.
I use this at work - always have it on a flashdrive in my pocket.

malware bytes, like a lot of security programs, has a free version which works fairly well for most purposes, and a fancier, paid-for version. you can download the free version from here (filehippo - a fairly well established source of free downloadable software) - with some of them, you have to be a bit careful going through their website to find the free version.
if you mean gamerhippo (whatever the heck that is, and as far as i know, no relation) is asking for money to uninstall itself, press the 'fuck off' button (or nearest equivalent)
try malware bytes on it.
