stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

- How are things running now ?
ewire and straight after that day every few hours an annoying pop-up would come up and display an advert. This opened a new browser window so was not like orinay ones. also next to my notification baar a sign would be displayed for a few seconds sayin 'Enhancment Tool Browser'. i searched on my computer for this and managed to delete a file (cant remember what) and instead of displaying an advert now it comes up with a blank browser window saying 'error cpmsky.biz' at the top and it would go away after a few seconds. But this would interrupt me if im playing a game and its a slow computer so it usually freezes. I went into the uninstall window and i saw 'cpmsky enhancment tool browser in it. When i clicked uninstall it said this is a system file and may affect how my computer runs. What can i do to get rid of it
