Hi ultrasuperjuice,

Yes you can remove the temp files.

Sounds like to me, that you got infected by something either by installing a rouge software or something that came with MALWARE.

Try theses steps

Popups:
You might have been infected with some sort of tracking cookie that is causing you to get Popups.

Spy ware:
You might have clicked YES to something while on a web site, or entered your login info.

Scanning your system:

Go to these links in this order:
This first one, you need to RUN from that location.

This is a DIRECT link to that exe file.
If it finds a suspicious program, remove it IF you DONT know what it is.
This one is the same thing, but you go a different way to this program.

Also, I use a program called Spyware Blaster. This program ADDs ActiveX Kill Bits to the registry to
help keep some if not most of the popups and parasites from installing onto your computer.
You can surf just about anywhere and watch this program do it’s job.

Also, while you MIGHT have installed something that messed with your win sock, you need this to fix it:
This is a XP Win Sock Fix
Download and run this and it will want you to reboot. DO SO. REBOOT your computer or this will not work
like it is supposed

The download this and INSTALL it and update it, then run this and remove what it finds.
This is a DIRECT link to the exe file.

The you need a good anti-virus.
If you have AVG, get rid of it and use something else. Although AVG is free (so are many others) it has
it’s problems and sometimes (more times then normal) reports false positives.

If you use Norton (Symantec) You need to get rid of that also. It isn’t nothing but a resource hog and causes
problems that takes for ever to try and troubleshoot. Also, Norton has a removal tool in order for anyone to
remove it from their system (I say this is bad practice for ANYONE - the removal should have been included).
Norton Removal Tool here :http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

Anti-Virus
AVAST Anti Virus is FREE and you can also pay for it.
AVAST HERE

And finally, you need to clean your registry out from all the crap that you may have installed and then
uninstalled. To do this, you would need a registry cleaner. MS has a nice one, but would not suggest any
one to use it as it is directed towards the advacned users. However, there is one that I would recommend
to normal users. A program called Reg Seeker. Simple, lite and does not stay resident. Meaning, you load it
and tell it to do it’s job, then close it. Simple fast and usefull.

NOoooooooooooooo , do not take that seriously

NOOOOOOOO!

No but you now have an infected computer
This is long but worth doing

Step 1) DON’T PANIC! Take a deep breath and go grab a cup of your favorite beverage. This may take awhile.
Step 2) Clean up your pc. Remove programs you don’t use via the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. In Vista, you remove programs by clicking Programs and Features in the Control Panel. If you are unsure of a particular program, you can check it against a list of offenders here:….
Clean your hard drive of unnecessary files using CCleaner here:…
Save to your desktop, install it, then run the cleaner. Simple, yet it will free up tons of space on your hard drive. While you have the program open, run the Registry Checker as well. This will fix invalid registry entries safely. Note that you should run CCleaner for ALL accounts on your pc.
Step 3) Create a new System Restore point. Click StartAll Programs AccessoriesSystem ToolsSystem Restore. Create a restore point. Now delete all but this most recent restore point. Click StartAll ProgramsAccessories System ToolsDisk Cleanup. Click More Options tab, and then under System Restore, click Clean up. Click Yes to remove all but the most recent restore point. Click OK, click Yes, and then click OK.
Step 4) Now let’s start to get rid of those nasties. Download the following programs to your Desktop. You should then install each one, but don’t run them yet. Patience…patience.
Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware from here:…
AVG Anti-Spyware from here:…
Spybot Search and Destroy from here:…
SUPERAntiSpyware from here:…
I know this seems like overkill, but until someone can come up with one program that can detect everything in the wild, we need to use programs from several reputable sources.
Step 5) Use them safely. Once these programs are installed on your pc, their effectiveness may be negated by running scans normally. You need to reboot your pc into Safe Mode. Shut down your pc, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Safe Mode with Networking option, which loads all of the above files and drivers and the essential services and drivers to start networking, and press Enter. If Windows launches before you can choose a safe mode, restart your computer and try again. Now it’s time to start each program you installed and run scans. First, open Ad-Aware, update to the latest signatures, and run a full system scan. Delete any malware found, close the program and move on to AVG Anti-Spyware. Again, update, run complete scan, and delete the baddies. Do the same for Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware. When you are finished, restart the computer normally.
Step 6) Clean up and protect. I would recommend leaving AVG and Ad-Aware on your system, and delete the other two. These anti-spyware programs do not conflict and offer good future protection. If you happen to like the interface of the others, then by all means keep the ones you want, just so long as you have at least one solid stand-alone on your system. Uninstall the others via Add/Remove in the Control Panel.
Step 7) Not done yet. We’ve taken care of the spyware, but there still may be viruses and trojans lurking on your pc. If there is an anti-virus program running on your pc, shut it down. Yes, you read right, end the program. We need to run a few online scans that may conflict with the anti-virus installed. Go to Trend Micro:… to download and run their free online scanner. Take whatever action the scanner tells you for any virus found. Finally, do the same with the Panda Online ActiveScan :…
Restart your computer.
Step Peace at last. Make sure your anti-virus program of choice is running again and is up-to-date. If you do not have one, I suggest AVG Free Antivirus here: or Avast 4 Home: -…
Be sure you have at least one of the anti-spyware programs running, and also make sure you have a good firewall. PC Tools Firewall Plus is free and works on XP and Vista:… , as does WinPatrol 2007: …
This procedure will remove MOST malware. However, it may not catch some really nasty buggers. If you’ve followed all the steps and still believe you have something not right on your pc, you need some extra help. Go here:… to download a program called HijackThis. It examines certain key areas of the Registry and Hard Drive and lists their contents. Install, run and save a logfile which you may post on one of the forums listed on that same page as above. Some kind soul will then come along and examine your logfile and give you recommendations in order to wipe any remaining buggers away.
Please email me with comments, suggestions, and errors. If you like it, feel free to pass it on to other infected folks.

Many years of cleaning infected pc’s

its a scam

No. Definitely not. Have you done that? If you did, maybe. But I seriously doubt it. Those types of messages only come up if somebody tries to scam you. Get rid of it. Delete all of your browser’s history.

Go to Tools Internet Options Delete Delete All

If you’re using IE7 - that would delete anything your browser has touched.

Do you have IE7? I think that’s the best version you should be using if you Vista or XP SP2.

If you have older versions, you might as well get Firefox. But Firefox isn’t that good.

No it’s a popup ad, and don’t install the DriveCleaner as it is at least spyware and may even have a virus or worse in it.

But the popup did get one thing right: You do definitely have spyware files on your computer if you’re running Windows. For this, you need legitimate programs like Spybot: Search and Destroy and/or Adaware.

Also, QUIT USING INTERNET EXPLORER! It is a giant security leak. The minute you open that program you get tons of spycrap on your PC. What you need is either Safari or Firefox.

No, that is a commercial / spyware pushing program.
I hate it when commercial programs present pop-ups that look like legit windows screens. My mom falls for it every time. Thats why I installed firefox on her PC.
