Well, in addition to removing all the mentioned below, I kept seeing this magehlpi.exe
popping up in services. Found it in system32 folder. Made a backup copy of it (just
in case) and deleted the original, made a txt with the same name and a descriptive
msg inside (like... "bl*w me") then renamed it from .txt to .exe, hence a dummy file.
Rebooted, something is definitely trying to start it up, havent figured out how to
kill that yet, but so far, since i've done this, no more annoying popups for me.
Hope this helps, please post and let us know.
