got a dell dimension e510 running win xp. there is a pesky spyware, windows antivirus pro and total security center, which causes annoying popups. I did a search f or these name using search for files and folders and I came up with quite a few locations. However I cant delete all of these entries as some of the files are in use (to cause those popups). I cant even go into add/remove programs to see if I c an uninstall the offending program t hat way.I tried to g et the machine to boot into safemode but whenver I do, it crashes, saying this system has been shut down to prevent damages to your computer.
What can I do?
