Answer 1

It is a spyware or adware. Either way you don't want it. Use Unlocker to remove any files associated with it that refuses to be deleted. Help2Go says:
"ErrorSafe is a ROGUE anti-spyware program. It pretends to be a program that will help you fix windows problems, but really it reports false information to try to get you to purchase the program. It is a SCAM."

Unfortunately Google Toolbar, Adaware, Spybot, Windows Defender, and SpySweeper (from Webroot), may not be able to help you...and they may all tell you your computer is clean. Still, popups appear while you browse.

Prevx1 is supposed to fix it. Their website lists the files that ErrorSafe creates:

XCleaner is supposed to fix it too. This is available as both an online
scanner or as a downloadable free program:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/xscan.php
http://aboutyourbreakup.com/xcleaner.html

You may want to add this url to your HOSTs file, if you have one (I hope you do) and also add it to your IE's Security settings (Restricted Sites):

Try to also run a couple of online scanning services such as:
http://www.activescan.com
Have a free scan with Panda's ActiveScan and then perform the instructions described here:

This Symantec KB seems to be fairly comprehensive;

You may first want to follow the thorough and long detailed steps in cleaning up your system:

Pay particular attention to Step 3A, where you will install and run Spybot Search and Destroy. Spybot is especially adept at identifying and removing ErrorSafe from your system.

When you run it, make sure it connects to the Internet to download the latest updates. Then have Spybot check your system and fix everything it finds. After it is finished, reboot your computer and run it again. That will ensure that all traces of ErrorSafe have been removed.

If the pop-ups messages from ErrorSafe persist, when you get to the steps that deal with HijackThis and the Help2Go Detective, pay special attention to see if you have any entries in your HijackThis log that refer to ErrorSafe (don't worry - this will make more sense when you read the guide). Follow the directions, and you'll be in good shape.



I would also like to suggest installing antitrojans (a2 or Ewido or both) and proactive anti-malware such as SpywareBlaster (configure it as suggested in this thread for maximum malware protection).

All radiometric relationship approaches are in accordance with assumptions approximately activities that occurred in the previous. If the assumptions are time-honored as actual (as is usually completed in the evolutionary relationship strategies), outcomes could be biased in direction of a needed age. in the stated a protracted time given in textbooks and different journals, those evolutionary assumptions have not been puzzled, on the same time as outcomes inconsistent with long a protracted time have been censored. whilst the assumptions have been evaluated and shown defective, the outcomes supported the biblical account of a international Flood and youthful earth. Christians should not be petrified of radiometric relationship approaches. Carbon-14 relationship is extremely the buddy of Christians, and it helps a youthful earth. the cost scientists are confident that the favored thought attributed to geologist Charles Lyell from almost 2 centuries in the past, “the present is the foremost to the previous,” is in basic terms no longer valid for an earth historic previous of thousands and thousands or billions of years. an option interpretation of the carbon-14 information is that the earth experienced a international flood disaster which laid down countless the rock strata and fossils.... in spite of the source of the carbon-14, its presence in almost each pattern examined international is a robust challenge to an historical age. Carbon-14 information is now firmly on the component of the greater youthful-earth view of historic previous.10
