Please install Killbox by Option^Explicit.

*Extract the programme to your desktop and double-click on its folder, then double-click on Killbox.exe to start the programme.
*In the Killbox programme, select the Delete on Reboot option.
*Copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Control-C:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setup_03652.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setup_08478.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setup_52168.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setup_53661.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setup_57442.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setup_63744.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\setup_74634.exe


*Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose "Paste from Clipboard".

*Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "Yes" at the reboot now prompt..

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run TheKillbox, click download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try TheKillbox again.

How's it running now Brian?

Hi Crusty,

So far my computer has been pop-up free. I hope it lasts. I did what you asked me to and also deleted (through safemode) all of the temp files in Windows. That seemed to really clear things up.
Thanks for everything
