Give up using Windows, and install Linux on your computer. Linux is immune to all viruses, malware, spyware and adware.
Linux is a complete operating system that is either free or very cheap ($10-$30) and comes bundled with a huge variety of free software.
The Linux desktop is amazingly flexible and customizable, and anyone who is used to Windows will soon feel comfortable with it - and shocked by how dull their old Windows system looks by comparison! For example, in Linux you can use up to twenty (yes twenty) separate desktop work spaces - Windows only gives you one.
Go to www.distrowatch.com to find out how to get all the popular flavors of Linux...
...then do an image search for Linux screen grabs on Google.
BE COOL - GET LINUX

If its a virus, scan with Norton antivirus. Or, download spyware doctor from http://www.spywaredoctor.com
If its not able to uninstall, just install once more (so that it replaces the uninstall file, or repairs it). Now, restart the system without internet connection to your system. After you load OS, open task manager and click the processes. If any processes named popcorn or something related to that, end those.
Now, open add/remove Prgs., and try uninstall., and even if doesn't work, go to the folder and uninstall.

You need to go back to their website and look for unsubscribe option. you click on it and it will remove you. or you they have given you a free software to use, you need to delete that software to enable you delete the popup on your system.
