It seems like I downloaded some kind of a pop-up ads
program which I did not know about and now I can not
delete it off the computer on my Windows XP. It gives me
a message that the program is either in use by another
person or program. What do I do? Please, help!
Thanks

Hi Olena,

Disable all applications from startup (using MSCONFIG) and restart Windows.
Try to delete the file. If no help, run Ad-Aware scan (www.lavasoftusa.com)
