Betty1 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Something called precpop2? Is that a file or some kind of spyware or adware? It's just popped up a few days ago when Windows fully loads on my computer. And I have no idea what that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCSuperStores Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Plain and simple SpyWare! Do a search on Google and you'll read all about it. Probably a way for you to get rid of it too with a little digging. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Try, 1) End task on the PRECPOP2.EXE 2) Remove registry key with regedit; remove entire key hkey localmachine/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run/precpop 3) Deleted the entire directory C:\PROGRAM FILES\PRECPOP2 Be careful of working in your registry and always make a backup first.

Betty1 Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 I believe I got it off now. I'm not getting that pop up window after Windows loads. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't deleting something off I needed. Last time I did...I had to restore my whole system. I feel like shooting the person who created that spyware and adware stuff.
