Theres this thing called the MY SEARCH ASSISTANT that keeps giving me pop ups when im on IE, I went into the registry and deleted what it said to except I deleted under HKEY LOCAL MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > Toolbar: I deleted everything there on accident. When im running IE after a minute or so I will get an error message and it will completely get out of my IE and I have to get back in all over again. One other problem I have is in Program Files there is a folder called Wincomm. I tried to delete it, but access is denied because its in use. So, I did alt ctl delete and under processes there was Wincomm.exe and Winlock.exe. I tried ending the processes but they keep re appearing on the list of processes. Any way to get rid of this?

Try Move On Boot works great and it's free If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.

Best to do a search and find out what they are and what they do before trying to remove them... I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid...
