Netpumper tring to put me out

I had to install netpumper to use the anti-leech.com service to download a CD for my cousin. I knew the software had a a bad rep but I also knew I would be able to uninstall it afterwards, besides I was desprate - Kazaa was spittin' fake files out at me.

So I install it, get the music, then I uninstall it. The next thing I notice, is whenever I go to download something I get a page that looks like a large broken image.

Usualy its a EXE I am downloading when I get this problem, with other files I right-click and 'Save As' because these are usualy media files I want to save to my Harddisk, rather than stream.
Well anyway, I get this large broken image (full page).

I am able to view the page source code, and this is what is what was given to me by Internet Explorer 6 SP1:

Code:
<html><body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 scroll=no> 
<embed width=100% height=100% fullscreen=yes src="http://toledolink.tucows.com/files/pcv7.exe"></body></html>

What happens when you try to run an exe that's already on your hard drive?

oh, scratch that. Aparently it has fixxed itself after I deleted some NetPumper registry entries. Thanks for reading though.
