trashing parallels

Yep, me again!

OK, I downloaded a trial of parallels, but because I also need windows xp, I have trashed it. Well tried to. I can't empty the trash now because it keeps saying that 'pvsnatd is in use'. I dragged it out onto the desktop, but I still can't trash parallels. Am I stuck with it forever?

The shared networking in Parallels is now implemented as a NAT service and that the service is called pvsnatd.

Check Activity Monitor, if it's there, quit from that menu.

Thanks Bob, that is one task I have successfully resolved today! Let me buy you a beer!

Oh go on then, you've been very patient and helpful as well (cracks a Budweiser - the real one, and slides along to Viro)
