It is in the system restore files.It will be fine until you
use system restore.You can turn off system restore in system
properties.See:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;310405
When you turn it off all restore points will be deleted.
About the spam,Mozilla Thunderbird has good junk mail
filters.I use it instead of Outlook.And Mozilla Firefox has
a pretty good pop-up stopper.Google has a pop-up stopper for
Internet Explorer.There are many out there to choose from.
The new release of IE6 has a pop-up stopper built in but
will not be out till the end of July.
