Well anyways, last time I've played cf was about 3-4 weeks ago. And yesterday I wanted to play it again. So I updated it and... :
Now I always get this message and game shuts off. I tried closing every damn proccess in task manager, and it still doesn't work.
You see, as soon as zIan hack stopped working (1,2 maybe 3 years ago) I deleted all zIan files. But I was foolish enough not to uninstall it. And now I've got no idea on how to remove it, I tried searching my whole computer of files cointaining "zIan" but no luck. And I can't shut it off in the task manager as it appears as HGWC (probably injected in cf file or something?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.:
Somehow I couldn't spell zIan properly -> replace I with Y for the proper name.
EDIT:
Why can't I properly insert screenshots? They appear as attachments :/

-Delete any temporal file (Start>>My PC, right click on your hard disk (C: or whatever it's called)>>Properties>>Free space in disk, wait for it to load, check "temporal files" and "temporal internet files" then click on Ok and wait untill it finishes). You may also use a program like CCleaner or another to do this.
-After deleting temp files, go to Start>>My PC>>(your hard disk)>>WINDOWS>>System32 and check for any file (.exe,.dll,.bat, etc.) related to the hack and delete them, but be careful for not deleting any important file.
-Finally, go to Start>>Execute, type msconfig and then click Ok. Look on "Start" button for any process related to the hack and uncheck them and click on Apply, then take a look on the list from "Services" button and disable any process realted to the hack (uncheck and click apply).
Once finished, click on Ok. It will ask you if you want to restart your computer, then choose "restart".
Before deleting any file, shutting down or disabling any process, you can google their names to know what they do and from what aplication they are.
