Ban him, Ban him NOW!
OK. Silliness over. First go to www.ccleaner.com and download a free tool called CCleaner. Used to be Cr@p Cleaner but it changed... in name only.
Now, back-up everything. Verify your back-up.
Find the folder this thing is in. Start with C:\\Program Files\Ghost Surf. Delete the file. Empty the Recycle Bin.
Now run CCleaner in registry clean mode. Run it over and over until it can't find anything else to kill.
Reboot.
Now create a restore point.
Next we will discuss how to password protect your account on the computer and give hubby a protected place to play. Believe me, it will help!
Good luck!

Just kidding. It appears to be a legitimite program to allow anonymous surfing and some spyware protection.
To remove it you may need to reinstall it, reboot and then use add/remove programs to uninstall it. Here is a link to their troubleshooting page, you can go to the downloads section to obtain another copy if the installer is not still present.

why would he need that program? What is he trying to hide? Is he living a secret life? Is he really an agent for the CIA? Of course not, he seems much too intelligent to be one of those dopes.
Sorry, I tend to be a conspiracy nut and am a little off. ;)

He won't get to fiddle with it - kinda works or not. They are pretty cheap now - some can be had for under $200. You can't add GPS to a laptop for much less. TomTom One seems cheap and cheerful.
A laptop would be handy on the road for looking up emails but difficult to use (and dangerous) if moving.

Get him a GPS. Garmin makes several at a good price point. Keep the laptop.
On the other hand...
Depending on your cell service, you can also get him GPS service to his cell.
Then tell him that you implanted him with a chip so that you will know his every move...
Yes, I have an evil streak. :)

But, most GPS systems don't take into consideration truck routing. There are places cars can go that trucks can't. Also, he needs to know where the scale houses and truck stops are located. Also, he usually routes himself before he starts driving. It's a pretty hefty ticket for driving and using any sort of electronic device.
I think I may have used also too many times.
But, that means I have to find the program that I can install on the laptop for truck routing. Yippy skippy.

I think that you CAN get a GPS with truck routing.
We have a small handheld that we use when out hunting. It tells us about EVERY road that it knows (maps install). But it also tells us if it is an interstate, or a fire road.
The scale thing would be more difficult, but not undoable. Check Google for truckers GPS- I will bet you get some hits.
Either way, you'll have to do the search. Why not get him something... well... idiot-proof (but meant in the nicest possible way!)?
Just a thought.
