2. On you desktop or start menu, right click on my
computer than click on explore.
3. Click on "C" drive so you can see your dir.

program is in.
5. Next right click on the dir., than click on properties.

Somebody Please Help!!!!!!!
I am kinda new to computers, in March of this year, I
purchased, this $950.00 computer (Hp, w/ windows XP).
Well, last week somone suggested that I do a check
for "spyware", I did and yes I was having a kazillion
popups, even when I WASNT on the internet.
I found all of the programs, and I found even
more in the System Configuration.
Here is my problem, when I try to uninstall, a
box pops up telling me that I can't b/c, it is
copyrighted and/or somone else is using it.
In addition in the System Configurations box I
don't see any way to delete the stuff that hides in my
computer.

Did I spend all of this money to be told that I
can't delete something, which I did'nt know was even
there.


It was suggested to download a program
called "spyblaster", that is the biggest joke, It came
with over 300 pop-ups, (later I was told that , that is
called a backdoor program, after, sending them a not so
nice e-mail, they finally told me how to remove their so
called program.


CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TO GET RID OF THIS JUNK
IN MY COMPUTER. PLEASE.
