Start with those… I still need to pm you about the shop space and how you want to work it. Sorry, been crazy with work.

What is popping up? is it the same stuff over and over?

“format c:” - that’s the only real way to cure it

:slight_smile:

same pop up… say if im going to ebay… some other type of auction thing comes up…

then i have those pop up’s that say i need some there software to get rid of my virus’s… ect ect…

it sucks!

thanks dirty george! ill look into them…

im sure your right… but… all i know is c drives my main drive… so what do i do then!! lol

i scan disk and defrag it often but its just slow since the pop up’s started comin!

download those spyware removers. I use the adaware. After you run a full system scan, and quarantine all files that it finds, restart your computer and see if that takes care of them.

question… do i dl all 3 of these?

You can, it won’t hurt anything. Using more than one spyware removal tool will ensure that everything is caught. I find the adaware usually catches everything (that is the lavasoft link) Some ppl just have faith in one more than the other. I’ve heard good stuff about the microsoft one too…

re-install. sometimes its faster than screwing around for hours trying to pull shit out.

Hey doug,try somethin like spybot.com need to get rid of adware and spyware.btw feel up to doin a tranny swap for me.

Microsoft Anti-Spyware is the best, I think. You may have to run it in safe-mode, but it sounds like you got the same thing that I had… PITA to get rid of…

Do not format c: :doh:

i did the lavasoft one… seems like it worked! :slight_smile:

whats a computer?

glad it got rid of it doug.
