My computer is running a little faster after doing CCleaner.

You should have noticed a difference after uninstalling one of the security suites. Try a disk defrag now as it will surely be needed.

Time to do some cleanup and secure the work you have done.

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
• Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
• Then hit Enter.

The above procedure will:

• Delete:
  • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
  • VundoFix backups, if present
  • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
  • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
• Reset the clock settings.
• Hide file extensions, if required.
• Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
• Set a new, clean Restore Point.

Download OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer OTMoveIt2.exe and place it on your desktop. (unless you already have it)

1. Double click OTMoveIt2.exe to launch it.
Vista users right click and choose Run As Administrator
2. Click on the CleanUp! button.
3. OTMoveIt2 will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programs alerts you, allow it access.
4. Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)

• When finished exit out of OTMoveIt2

UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!! - If you do not have automatic updates enabled then visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

I thank you for your help and the pop-ups haven't shown up, but Viewpoint keeps reinstalling itself on my computer after I delete it. If that's too or not so serious of a problem, just let me know. Thanks.

EDIT Nevermind, I found out how it keeps getting installed and know that it will just keep coming back anytime anyone uses AIM on my computer. Thanks anyways.

Download and run Viewpoint Killer, that should get rid of it once and for all mate.

I dowloaded it, installed it, and ran it. It seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you so much for the help and I hope you all have a great life.

See ya later when I have another problem.

Only download from safe sites. If you can't find it here or here then it may not be safe.

[virushater]

I'll remember that. Thanks again for all your help.

See ya.
