  I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

• How can I delete a file from my backup/archiving?

  I am new to computers and I'm still trying to understand a lot of what happens, I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with OS Vista Home Premium on a 64-bit platform. I downloaded a program to open an attachment, I received in an email, only to find out that I had to pay for it so I uninstalled when I did that he left behind a pop up that starts with the startup program, it tells me that there is a problem with the installation and to reorganize. I went to the boot file on all programs at the start of the menu found and deleted, but the next time I start the computer the pop showed once again. I went back to the file and there are still and removed the more I found it in other programs, including my C drive, I deleted all the and the next time I start the computer of pop showed once again. I went to the boot again file and this is once again so I removed it, while he was in the trash, I clkd on the properties and I found a box saying archives with a mark of chk in the box. Guess the file itself is the reproduction in the archives and the archives are backup is I? So, how in my backup file to find the file for the pop up and remove? If I can, I went through several books I have on computers but there is no explanation and I tried the computer but I can't find any specific information that will help. I sent several different security screens through the computer and it did not pop up (called cure pilot) (using Norton, Superantispyware, and Microsoft Security Essentials) so I don't think it is malware and my computer is not having more or less problems than what she normally. If I can't dig the file and delete any other ideas on what to do with it? I'll download CC Cleaner and try it. Thanks for any help.
