Why does that matter, if you type c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe in run you'll get internet explorer just as you would if you typed C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
This is because 1 is the dos 8.3 format for expressing the 2nd

This is just tidying up his system.

How is your system in relation to the popups barjam??

surely best to sort that first, then look at getting your system in some kind of order.

Once your popup problem is gone. Take the advice and go through Add Remove progs and get rid of everything you do not intend using.

There are pros and cons for all AV, anti Spyware progs. People always have different opinions. Thats an argument you dont really need right now.

Neither McAfee nor Nortons are free in any way so assume both of these have a somewhat dubious parentage

AVG is the free one, so go with that for now. Get rid of everything else (Nortons, McAfee)
