| | Posted: | | | | Sounds like you have some kind of adware that got installed. You might want to try installing and running some kind of adware detector.

| | Posted: | | | | Just googled it. Description can be found here. For removing this you can use either AdAware as Vega recommended or Spybot Search and DestroyEDIT: Is it a known problem that you can't put two links into one line? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | I had this and couldn't seem to get rid of it either! I tried about 6 different removal programs!
In the end I had to go back a couple of restore points and this did the trick... caused no end of registry issues but at least the pop ups stopped.
Good luck! | | | Gavin.

tried both AD aware and Spybot, neither detected it an it still happens thanks for all the help tho' ppl In Spybot enable the advanced mode via menu "mode -> advanced mode", then in the left part of the program window change to "Tools" then to "Systemstart" (or similar) if it's not activated yet enable it by checking the box on the center window. In "Systemstart" check for red marked entries and disable them. If you click on the arrows on the right side of the center window you'll get information about the entries in your startup list. After doing so do the same with "ActiveX" and "BHO" (Browser Helper Objects) | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

thanks for all the help guys (especially goblinsdoitall) as i was doing goblins reccomendation AVG 8.0 caught it. Thanks again for all the help      Glad to hear that's sorted out. Now that you've got Spybot running you can immunize your system against most of such threats. By clicking the "Immunize" button you are protected against many malware downloads automatically. Remember to update the malware-signatures about once a week and you can feel a lot safer. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | Try booting into Safe Mode and then scanning. That'll catch all but the meanest SOB's. If you have a mean SOB, it's almost best to simply reformat. You can check by trying a system restore, if you can't, it's a mean SOB.
A lot of AV programs that you purchase in a store has a CD that you can boot from and then scan - it's the only way to be sure you prevent any programs from starting up and hiding themselves from scans. |
