Re: Pop ups and slow computer
I see now that Spybot is not installed. No, no drama, since it's uninstalled, you can delete this entire folder where the quarantined items are held:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
As far as free AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, you can click the link in my signature, "PC Safety and Security--What Do I Need?" I also give final protection instructions when we're done.
You have Windows Live OneCare, which is supposed to be all that. If you intend on using a different AntiVirus application, be sure to uninstall OneCare. Having more than one AV can be detrimental to the system performance and security.
