Ok I can't delete this one thing on my computer that's causing my google to screw up.  It always says that Windows is using it, so I *can't* delete it.  Well that sucks b/c it's something called the "dealhelper" right and it screws up my google so that everything I try to search for it ends up coming up with some site where you buy stuff. >(

If anybody would like to help please...

you can delete any of those files by opening the command prompt (start->run->cmd), going to the folder, using ctrl-alt-del to end windows explorer, then deleting the file. you only have to have a very basic knowledge of command promt workings to do it.

I think the problem is that I deleted something that the DealHelper needed to run by accident, and then I uninstalled the DealHelper, but then the thing that makes the DealHelper work can't be deleted b/c I needed the other stuff to uninstall and then delete.  I have Ad-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and The Cleaner and stuff still comes up.

I'm just going to have do a recovery or something.

Go into safe-mode and run ad-aware, spybot, etc all again.

Oh and get a good firewall - no point chucking people out the house if you still leave the door open.
Then lock your windows as well (by using Spybot or SpywareBlaster to disable IEs Active-X crap which can be exploited)

Ok this really doesn't have anything to do with the topic or maybe it does.  I can't open my disc drive to insert the disc to do the recovery.  I'm not usre if this is b/c the compy is stupid or there's something wrong with the drive like a unconnected wire.  It worked today...but then sometimes it doesn't.

edit: wait I got it to work.  I'm afraid to close the drive b/c it might not open again Sad

No-no, try safemode first - it'll be quicker/easier than recovery. Tongue

Open command prompt, use force delete. Sorted.
