luckily i haven't had the attack of the popups yet. ive
just enabled winXP's internet firewall after lots of
people have advised this but i still cant get rid of this
system32.exe popup. do you know which file in win XP i
can edit so as to get rid of the entry that makes ny
computer look for it everytime i log in?
i also have lots of processes running but am not sure
which ones should be continually running and/or which
ones may have been put there? any ideas?
