Yay! Popups that Ask Me to Download Stuff!

Xupiter. Most of it was just annoyance (changing my favourites and changin my internet explorer)

But I think I messed up when I tried to get rid of. After I got rid of it I could not enter my computer, network neighborhood, recycle bin, control panel etc.

Anyways yes I did use a DOS command. I used the command move. Example. Move bobo.sav d:\bobo. Or to move files of the same type I can use Move *.sav d:\bobo

Long live DOS!! .

But seriously I can't see leaving Windows 98. How can I live without DOS?

Good question.

When I uninstalled it from my wife's machine by Xupiter's own uninstall link, it trashed the registry. The "Ad Aware" ad washer (updated to the Sept? or Oct/ 2002 version, the June02 version will not do Xupiter or Hunt bar)) program from lavasoft.de will safely remove it.

Thanks, Lefty - I ended up just deleting the Xupiter folder. I still have the option to add the Xupiter toolbar in IE, but it now does nothing.

The code from paypopup.com code is gone and not coming back ever. I am officially tired of them
