Which ones? There should be HJT, MBAM and SAS. You can uninstall HJT but keep MBAM and SAS and run scans with them occasionally.

    here is a list,  Software inspecter,  Malware bytes,  Moa2008use.exe, Superantispyware,  Windowsxp-kb884020-x86-enu.exe,  software inspector,  Tinsetup, CCleaner,  Noscript. 
    Another strange thing is happening. When I go to "MEDIA CENTRE" and then close it I end up with a MSN messenger icon on the bottom right which says not signed in when I put the cursor on it. If I log off and back on it is gone. I was having trouble with email but now is OK. I am prevented from using youtubr and similar sites

    You can use the online Software inspecter so you don't need to have it installed.

    Malware bytes & Superantispyware - Keep and run a scan occasionally, every two weeks or more if you think you need to. Remember to update before scanning.

    That is an installer for something, but not anything I had you use I don't think. Delete it.

    Windowsxp-kb884020-x86-enu.exe - Is an update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB884020) - Did you already install it?

    Tinsetup - I don't have a clue what this is. Nothing we use here.

    Noscript - That is a Firefox add-on. Where do you see it at?

    ----------

    Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the Desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

    Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

    Unzip the file on the Desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

    Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the Desktop.

    See if that takes care of the Messenger pop-up in Media Center.

            If you have any old setup files on the desktop you can safely delete them.

            The programs will not conflict with Avast!.
