Free Trial and download
With all downloads it is recommended to create a restore point prior to downloading and using the application for the first time.
This particular application has won hundreds of awards (as shown) and I use it about once a month to keep my pc running.
Another amazing programme designed for Windows Service pack two is the new Windows Defender:

Free to download and use (NO FEE)
With all downloads it is adviced to create a restore point via your pc's system restore. Only download application after reading all information.
These two downloads are safe to download and contain no spyware. I have also conducted a scan using Mcafee Site advisor to ensure these are the correct download links.

Try these steps
1. go to add/remve programs and remove anything you don't need, in particular any adbars or toolbars.
2. get rid of adware and spyware, go to http://www.download.com and download adaware, spybot search and destroy and soywareblaster.
3. run a full virus scan with your antivirus, there is usually an option to do a deep scan.
4. you can get windows to repair system files by doing start > run > sfc /scannow This may need access to the original install CD.
5. get ccleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com this will clear any unneeded files and also scan the registry
6. as a last resort reinstall windows, before doing this back up anything you need and I would suggest downloading any hrdware drivers you may need before doing update.

If you have a pop up warning you of bugs and errors, then its the pop up which is the problem and its caused by spyware. So you'd need to scan with Spybot Search and Destroy.
Otherwise use Ccleaner.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
http://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool
Theres a list of genuine freeware on my blog.

Anti Virus Grisoft - download it, it's free, and great.
WARNING - Don't get AntiVirus Gold, it's a virus site.

Yes, indeed, Spybot S&D, Ccleaner and Ad-aware are all excellent & free. You do have anti-virus, don't you? If not, try AVG or Avast! (also both free).

Try reformatting your HD... just make certain you have backed up on cd or dvd all the files you want to save... this will restore your HD to what it was like when it was new !
