Re: Constant IE pop ups...problem is, i use Firefox

Most of those items are in System Restore. Easily removed.

Delete C:\Deckard, as we should no longer require the logs or backups.



CLEAR & RESET SYSTEM RESTORE'S CACHE

Go to Start >> Run - type or copy/paste control sysdm.cpl,,4 & press Enter

* Tick on the checkbox - Turn off System Restore on all drives
* Click Apply

Turn it back 'On' by unticking the same checkbox & click Apply, and then OK

How is your system behaving?
