Most likely you have spyware/malware of some type on your PC. Running Adaware or something similar is the first thing to do. If possible, this should be done in Safe Mode to be sure you get everything. If at any point in this process you are forced to reboot before completion, you will need to start again from the beginning.

If you get a message saying the file is in use when try8ing to delete it that means that it is running as a process. The only way to remove it will be to open up the Task List and stop the process and any related processes. (This is why it's better to do this in Safe Mode. Safe Mode only loads drivers that are needed for bare minimum operations)

This process works for Win XP and 2000 and should work for Millinium. Open up My Computer and double click on the C drive.

1. Look for a file that ends in .XML. If you see it, delete it. It shouldn’t be there. (This one should delete.)
2. On the Drop Down menus at the top of the window click on Tools, Folder Options, View. In the new window look down the list and click the button beside Show All Files. Then exit by clicking OK on all the windows.
3. Open up the C drive again, if you just closed it, then open up the Windows Folder. Then open up the folder called Temps. Delete all the files in this folder.
4. Close these windows until you are viewing the contents of the C drive.
5. Open the Windows folder. Look for the Temp folder and delete the contents of the folder. Navigate back to the Contents of C.
6. Open the Documents and Settings Folder
7. Open the folder that is named the same name that you use to log onto the computer. If you don’t have to login open the Administrator folder. Open the Local Settings folder.
8. Next, open the Temp folder and delete all the files out of it.
9. Open the Temporary Internet Files folder. Delete the files in this folder. Sometimes login information is stored here for things like web forums, and web sites that require a log in and password. Unless you want to go through every file and delete them one by one, delete everything. You’ll just have to enter an account and password for the web forum you go to all the time.
10. Open up Internet Explorer. Click on Tools, Internet Options, Settings, View Objects. These are application plug-ins like Flash Player, Real Player, etc. If any are listed as “unknown” remove them.
Don't worry about deleting something important here. If IE needs it, it will be reinstalled automatically.

Gotta go do some work. More to come later.
