One of our girls is getting popup porn Internet windows since yesterday. I've deleted all the temp internet files and it still popped up. I've done a msconfig and saw the following which I don't recognised: winkfuk.exe, winkbl.exe, winkgv.exe and winkahm.exe. Do any of you recognise any of this, or is this what's causing the popup porn and can I go into the system files and delete them?

Many thanks.
