Nero Viewer?
How do I delete all these 'Nero Viewer' images from the computer, I opened a file, amd then when I scrolled with the wheel 'PPRUNE" logos came up, other ads, images from emails sent, websites visited etc appear, it seems to be a never ending pool of ads / images etc etc, how do I delete all this??

Yes, Nero does have a habit of trying to take over one's computer. (Almost a bad as some of the HP apps.
.) Another of those 'background indexing' things, which can be useful if you want to use Nero to find your stored images - but I don't.
The first thing I did was to stop this particular app from starting: the usual <start> <run> msconfig will contain - probably - a couple of Nero-derived background programs, both of which slow down the 'puter. Either delete them or disable them, and restart the computer. Then at your leisure you can find the the folder in which the Nero index is stored and lose that also. Or I guess you could just leave it be: it won't do any harm.
Edited to add: I didn't do anything to start this process up, SD, Nero did this all by its little self.

I assume that all the files mentioned are in a temporary internet cache and / or browser cache.
Don't delete the cache(s), just disable Nero and it's anti-social behaviour.

I have had Nero on my computer for some time, but have gone off it in a big way lately.
Aside from all the unnecessary crud it loaded at bootup I found it most pernickety at what it would condescend to copy from where to where, often incorrectly identifying drive types.
I've disabled the lot, and now find the free IMGBurn much nicer and more versatile for such operations.

I recall something called 'Scout' which I disabled yonks ago. Could this be it? Perhaps you both would like to peruse Nero - Support - FAQ

I use Imgburn for everything except music CDs, for which I use a free copy (magazine) of Nero 6 - which, fortunately, doesn't have Nero "Scout".
