The computer seems to be working much better now, no popups so far. Updated to SP2, defragged and things. Ill check out that host file thing too. Is it necessary?
 
O I forgot to ask you about that Dealhelper problem I mentioned before. It still shows up on my Add/Remove Programs however I dont ever see any symptoms of it, I think I did remove it in the past. It still shows in the Add/Remove section with 2.8 GB space taken up. How do I know if it is still on my computer and anyway to recover this space if it is really being used?
 
Yes an updated hosts file is a must.

Included in that reg file was a line that should have removed dealhelper from addremove, have you checked since then ?
If it is still there run Hijackthis click config > msie tools >open uninstall manager, hilight dealhelper what is the uninstall command over to the right ?
while it is still hilighted choose delete this entry.
Updated to SP2,.

Fantastic, be sure to revisit windows update after sp2 was installed, there are probaly a few more crittical updates.
 
Yea I just checked and the Dealhelper is still there and its bigger than it orginially was, now at 3.0 GB. On the HJT uninstall manager it says next to Uninstall Command: "C:\WINDOWS\Uninstall.exe" "C:\Program Files\DealHelper.com Inc.\dhuninst.log"

If i choose to del the entry, will it completely remove any traces of the program? Or add that 3 GB to my free space?
 
Not to worry about the size.

can you delete this file and folder ?
C:\WINDOWS\Uninstall.exe
C:\Program Files\DealHelper.com Inc
 
Yea the C:\Windows\Uninstall.exe is there however the other Program Files folder is not, I believe I deleted that one a long time ago. What should I do? Just delete Uninstall.exe and remove the Add/Remove entry with HJT?
