Pop Ups? Spy Ware Help!
 

While surfing the web I will get some damn pop ups. I think there is some type of virus on my pc. Does anyone know a good cleaner? I don't think I need Nortons or anything. Just some type of spy ware cleaner?

download.com and search for Ad-aware

spybot

Adaware is nice but spybot is the shit.

Also if you are using XP then you need to shut of the messenger...


Just search the site for that info on how 2

Okay I found some shit on my PC and it is clean. I then surf some more and get a fucking mini pop up again. I viewed source and saw this web site.

I tried to find the remove from their site but could not find anything worthy.

I highly reccomend Norton Personal Firewall. Took care of that problem for me. I dont get those damn popups at all anymore.

Get the most recent version of Spybot. It'll take care of it. More info on coolwebsearch:

Ad-aware usually kills most of that shit.

It might be a spyware that was downloaded to your computer and is starting up without you knowing though. The 'easy' way to get rid of those kinda programs, download a copy of TWEAK-XP, then remove all the shit from your 'autostarts' ...

There is another way to do it without downloading Tweakxp, but its a bit complicated.

The last thing you can do is double check your computer for virus's as well, goto www.mcafee.com and use the free virus scanner on the right hand side. It wont fix the virus's, but it will tell you if you have any or not.

Fuck, I still am getting shit!!!!!

These programs will not help you. Real CWS removal instructions:
Download http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/ , run it, click "scan", select all processes starting on ridicoulus signs (I mean these 7%7%7%7%, it`s encoded web page URL) they are on the top of the list and correspond for search page and start page settings and other, select bootconf.exe (located in windows/system32) and default.css (located in /windows directory) on the bottom of the list and click "fix" and restart computer. And that`s all, worked for anyone that I know (me included, I use Windows XP).

WTF man I need help and you are giving me 4o4 bullshit

Spybot Search and Destroy is the shit. You can read all about it on PC Magazine's site HERE

I got bagged by some spy or ad aware shit this weekend on my older machine running win98, spy bot didn't fix it :(

Fuckin pop-ups about every 5 page views :(
