Unwelcome porn!

[Guest]

My son downloaded a porn file (Hot Kiss...!) and I (and the younger kids!) keep getting porn pop-ups whenever we're online. I've gone into Windows Explorer to delete the file but it won't let me: says it 'write protected'... I'm not too well-versed on all this and wonder if there is a simple way to get around this.

you can try to use the registry to delete the file
go to: Start>Run>type in regedi
Then, the tricky part is locating the key....
First, run a 'search' for the entry of the file name
Click Start> Search>All files and Folders
Then, type in hot kiss in both boxes,
and, while you are on the same page click ' More Advanced Options' and in the top box, type in the file name (hot kiss.
Then, click on the scroll bar where it says, 'type of file' and scroll down to 'registration entires' and check that option
then hit SEARC
Select all the files and try to delete the

So, far so good...try this first to see if it helps

Also, there is a tool that you can download,for free, called RegSeeker, here is the link. You can use this tool to look for specific entires so you can delete them...
