Unable to Delete File

Morning Blade I tried deleting the file you asked me to delete with both Mozilla open and then closed, it tells me it is right protected or in use and unable to delete.

Hi

Looks like removing "Adssite" requires uninstalling FireFox

To uninstall Firefox completely, you want to clear out everything related to Firefox, e.g., the profile or profiles, add-ons and cookies.

Profile info here:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder

Note:
Uninstalling Firefox does not remove the user profiles, etc. To get a truly clean re-install, it all needs to be removed...

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

In XP, the profile folder is usually located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Go to the Program Files folder and delete the "Mozilla Firefox" folder there.

After the above:

Download Firefox from its official site.

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Man that was a pain

That took a lot of work lol. I-tunes was mixed in it a bunch of other stuff that had to be done. I had to go in to processes and shut down everything to try and figure out what was latching on to the program file folder. But it is done so far I have not seen anything. Anything else you want to look at that can tell if we got this beat or not?

Hi

So, you get Firefox reinstalled? Anymore popups?

 

[uavscrappy]

So far so good

So far so good buddy, anything that I can run to see if something pops up?

 

[Blade81]

Can't give any examples. Just use it as you would normally do and let me know so that we can archive the topic if things are ok.

Happy New Year

Hey Blade I think we nipped this in the but finally. I wanted to post one more HJT log to make sure. If everything looks good with the log, I think we are done here. Thanks again for all your help.
