[ARTHUR18]

Hi,
I just purchased a new laptop with windows vista operating system. When I connected the laptop to internet a pop up appeared. It was like some cpvfeed. Then I configure the disable pop-up blocker settings. But now every time a multiple pop-up appears and freeze my system. It is not stopping anyhow. I have McAfee Antivirus in my system. I scanned the system completely. There are not threats, But the extra pop-ups are not ready to go. They direct me to different website automatically. I want get rid to them. Suggest reply.

url.cpv.feed is a type of internet browser hijacker. It is a part of adware zedo software. The pop-up created by it is very difficult to remove manually. They automatically direct your browser to some unwanted sites. This sites contains virus and threats for the system. If you are facing the same issue then you have to know take the following measures.

1. First download and install PC Tool Spyware.
2. Then right click on My Computer and select Properties > System Restore > Turn off > Apply > Ok > Restart your system.
3. Scan your system with PC Tool Spyware

This pop-ups can be stopped by deleting the core.sys file from the registry of windows. The core folder in the registry keeps the information about the pop-ups. But before making any changes take the backup of your windows registry. So that you can restore it back if needed. Do the below instructions to delete the core folders :
