google toolbar works the best for me! I've tried them all

are the ads from the Windows Messenger? (not MSN messegner, the IM program)


try spy bot search and destroy. You can find it on download.com

 

the reason u guys have many popups is b/c u have contacted a virus...no if and or buts about it...pop up blockers might work...but u still have that $h!t on your computer....

you can reprogram your computer or mayb brign it to your computer store if u dont know how...they will be able to help u fix it!!!

 

that brings up another question.........where can i download a virus scanner?

 

To solve your problem do this...ctrl-alt-del, then task manager, then processes tab. Then the click the "User Name" tab to organize the usernames, your computer has a name. Mine is John Q, it won't be local service, network service, or system. Now you will see many programs currently running under your computer name. ex. ieexplorer.exe or video card program " ".exe but then you will have stuff you won't understand. like ctfmon.exe(try to figure out what they are, they are almost always abreveated). Now write down all you dont understand and do a google search on what they mean. some you will probably realize do have some importance, but others will say virus, trojan, or something like that in the search( if any confusion post it). then go to start, search, for files and folders, then type it in in the search. i.e ctfmon.exe. when the search is complete delete all the files that are viruses(all the ones that are unknown or viruses in the processes tab). then empty your recycle bin....Then (lol, almost done) go to your internet explorer and right click, properties, then click, delete all offline content, then delete cookies. then go to start, programs, asseceries, tools, disk cleanup. check all the boxes, Clean up c: drive. try that, it should work better than the "popup-blockers" that slow your internet way down and dont work against viruses. If that doesn't work post.
