Ive got a problem with me mates PC i cant seem to sort... When he logs onto the internet he often gets p0rn poppups coming up which is well pissing hmi off as his young kids use the PC etc. I've told him to stop downloading p0rn (which he is denying!! )!! He's tried using Norton firewall, Ad-aware, Spy Doctor and Spybot, but these poppups still keep reappearing. He's also deleted all his cookies/history/temp internet files and it still does it!!!

Anyone got any ideas what I can try?? I told him last night to download the most recent Microsoft updates before I go round there tonight.....

Any help would be great
Cheers

get rid of internet explorer for one.

try "Firefox" - much better than IE

are they browser popups or other ones? if other try disabling the messenger service.

In XP goto control panel > administrative tools > services > messenger, disable it by selecting startup type. This will stop unwanted popups. Also use spybot this is free.
