Will uncook95.exe fix the problems with my MP3 files?

Uncook95 doesn’t remove «pops» from MP3 files in any general sense. It does one, very specific task, which is to fix MP3 files that have been messed up («cooked») by being transferred as if they were text files rather than continuous binary data. Files which have this problem can have problems ranging from periodic cracks, wibbles or pops to sounding totally scrambled, playing at the wrong speed etc. If the problem with the file is that it is «cooked» uncook95 will fix it. But if the problem is something different (e.g. the file was recorded from an old vinyl LP that was scratched) uncook95 will do nothing for it at all.
