Uninstall KeenValue with FreeFixer

I'm working on a general purpose tool for removing unwanted software. The tool is called FreeFixer and can help you remove unwanted Browser Helper Objects, Internet Explorer toolbars and software that starts automatically when you reboot your computer, so it can offer some assistance while uninstalling KeenValue. The manual removal instructions listed below will help you to identify what to delete with FreeFixer.
