As funny as it is..... spamming is evil...

or the anti-christ.... not that i'm religous... because im not.

Pop-ups too... those are very anoying... when i'm playing a game... bam bam bam bam bam! i get about a million of them.... sometimes....

they are all definetyly evil....

There's ways to get rid of pop-ups though. I used to have em constantly, they'd always be crashing my CoD. But a little magic by Mr. Baron, and quite a few cuss words by me, and I don't get em anymore.

Go find Ad-aware, Spybot S&D, and Spyware Blaster
Update and run all of those, and hopefully they'll help rid you of whatever spyware it is that you have.

I've got all of those except spyware blaster... never heard of it

My dad had me try the Microsoft Anti-Spyware...so far it's done really well, I've never had to go back to ad-aware. RAWR!

i havent heard of spyware blaster either....is it free like adaware and spybot s&d?

its free but you have to update it manually, it doesnt really scan your computer as the others would either. It's more of a preventative measure from getting re-infected.

BTW, Mcafee does detect spyware now in most of their anti virus products also, so that helps alot.

And MS anti-spyware should be just as good IMO as the others... I just havent tried it myself yet

Thanks guys! i do have ad-aware and that helps a lot.

I think i can get spyware blaster. if its free.. i dont have a lot of money to throw around.

Mozilla is supposed to help w/ cookies too right?

Just to let you know KrazyDave, your sig. really freaks me out.... it's awsome... but *shudders* whoa....

Thanks for the help guys!

spybot is also free

Dave get MS Antispyware ASAP -- it can completely prevent spyware from ever installing itself. It asks you about every odd registry change a program tries to make, or a .bat file being executed, etc etc.

spybot does the same

Yes! That's it! I knew there was something cool about MS AntiSpyware...I just couldn't remember what the hell it was. <L> hi =D

Apparently, I need a legit XP license to install...
figures. I left my legit copy on my old computer which has become my wifes'...

Oh well, I need to reformat soon anyway, I guess I'll just install a legit one when I get around to that

I hate Micro$haft

The best spyware I have found is Spyware Doctor by PC Tools. I had spyware litterally cripple my computer, I had no control of my internet any more and my computer was extremely slow. I had on my computer ad-aware, mc cafee, MS anti-spyware. Ad-aware was the only one to detect the spyware but was not strong enough to remove it. These three programs showed me as spyware free. But my computer was definately infected. I purchased Spyware Doctor from http://www.pctools.com installed it, ran it and it found 50 or so traces of spyware. The program was only $20 - $30 and has updates multiple times a day. Another plus is it uses way less system resources then our friend MCcafee. The spyware that had caused my drama was spyaxe. It is very good at preventing pop-ups as well.

You're not very good at swearing, so let's give the credit up to Jeff's magic.
