Let us know how you get on


P.s the things you mentioned above are for adware/spyware, they wont help against pop ups

 

I have the Google toolbar attached to my IE browser and it has it's own pop up blocker and I have had no trouble with pop ups since I got it

and it's free

 

so do i need something else for spyware?

 

you say you have anti spyware and spybot, running those should be fine for spyware BUT if i was you id delete anti spyware beta and install this instead because its way better at doing its job(still free) http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

Thats what i use along with spybot(which you already have)


Just make sure you delete antispyware beta because you dont want loads of different programmes all over the shop!

 

thanks ive done that, it found 2 things the others didnt
what anti virus u using?

 

ahhhhhh! jus had one apear for kellkoo!!

what does it take to get rid of these fookers!

 

Im just using AVG, theres a free one which ive got and theres a pro one which you pay for but the free one works fine

 

yeh i got the free avg one

still getting these ads coming up tho!!

 

Still getting pops up even with a blocker?

Are you running internet explorer? if you are then i highly recommend downloading firefox, its basically the same as explorer on the surface so its very easy to use except its much faster, offers better security agianst spyware etc AND it has built in pop up blocker http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Fire...7.html?tag=pop

Im using it and i get absolutly no popups what so ever

 

omg it jus came up with firefox, do i need to delete my other explorer?

i opened it with the firefox browser and came on here, and then it came up
am i doing something wrong

 

http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

when i run this one it finds these 2 things, deletes them but doesnt seem to keep em away? do i need to do something to the settings?

it deletes them but the same 2 things re-apear, cookie trackers or sumthing

 

You cant delete explorer because its part of windows, so just leave it on there and carry on using firefox for your browser.

You say "it came up"? i assume you mean the same pop up you were getting on explorer? if so then can you post a screen shot on here of it so i can see for myself?

As for the cookie tracker, you will get them from visting different sites, basically some websites attach these tracking cookies so they can moniter your internet usage habits etc and find out things about you etc! i always have at least 6 of these when i do a scan so i just delete them and thats it, nothing much to worry about.

P.s when you have done a scan using ad-adware if you right click on the cookie thing it will say something like"whats this", or "definition"(i cant remember) and it tells you exactly what the item is that its found

 

You can uninstall Internet Explorer from the control panel -> add remove programs, then click on windows componants.

Windows Update doesn't work if you do that tho

 

Yeah i knew that which is why i just said you cant delete it, didnt wanna bore him writing an essay on why you cant delete it
Plus it says 0mb next to it, which means your not gaining any disk space by deleting it so you mayaswell leave it!

Anyway heres what i was talking about tommy:


If its too small to read then save the pic to your pc and then view it, should be full size then

 

it wont let me copy and paste the cache? is that because the pop up is coming up in internet explorer and u cant paste stuff from 1 browser to another?

 

yeh i think the ads popping up are something to do with internet explorer still, even when i open fire fox, the ads pop up in a window with the explorer icon/pic in the top left of the window?

this ad was from kelkoo

 

To be honest with you if your still getting pop ups even after trying various different things then your PC is probably too badly infected with spyware to cure, short of a full restore.

My laptop got to the stage where i had a never ending "Come meet me at pussy palace" pop up, if u closed it another one would pop up, the only way was to drag it out of the way, plus a continual "ding ding ding ding ding" playing through the speakers.

Ive restored it now and with the service packs kept up to date i have NO pop ups and i dont have any additional blockers or spyware software.

AVG free edition anti virus and thats should be all you should need really.

 

Firefox itself should block pop up's.

MIght be time to give it the wipe it clean and start again. Then, install AVG, Spybot Search & Destroy, Microsoft Anti Spyware (for what's it's worth) and 2 firewalls

 

On the assumption you have a Genuine Windows product key

You don't need one with this nice Corporate CD i have here

 

M8,

Where there's a will there's a way

 

Very true

But you like said ive heard its shit anyway isnt it?

 

It's not as good as Spybot IMO, but for a beta, what can you honestly expect lol. Beta version's of XP were shonky as fook As was longhorn

 

really dont wana re-install got some too much stuff to reinstall on it, i will loose it all

 

Sometimes its the only way mate, i had to back up about 40gb's worth of stuff. If u can afford to IMO you would be best off getting a 2nd HDD for when you do, so you can keep all your stuff on another HDD then should you ever need to restore you won't have to lose it.

 

Thats a good idea, i mean you can get a 80gig hard drive for 40-50 quid i think? and even if you dont need the space right now then you will soon enough.

You cant have too much hard drive space IMO

 

NEVER EVER EVER

 

Exactly

 

ive reinstalled guys, sorted bit long winded but now sorted

thanx for every1s help anyways

 

Good good

 

Them wires need sorting though and i expect its not doing anything for heat dissipation!
