Please print out or copy this page to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out the following instructions.

Please follow the instructions here to clear Sun Java's cache.

Downloads(make sure to save these in a permanent location)
Cleanup! (Alternate Link)- Install it. You will use this later.

*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temporary folders and does not make backups.

I have attached a file to this post called eli.zip Download it to your desktop and unzip it. Double click on eli.reg and click yes when prompted to merge it into your registry.

Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Click > Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs and uninstall the following programs:

File and Folder Deletions
Delete the following Files indicated in RED and Folders indicated in BLUE if they still exist.
C:\WINDOWS\GatorPdpLoudInstaller.log
C:\Program Files\Adverts

Tools
Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from Start > All Programs). Set the program up as follows:

Click Options
Move the slider button down to Custom CleanUp!

Check the following:
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Cookies
  • Delete Prefetch files
  • Cleanup! All Users
Uncheck the following :
  • Scan local drives for temporary files

Click OK, Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.If prompted to reboot, click Yes.
