constant popups

[sfxhewitt]

hi just recently i started getting lots of pop up which i dont usually get i ran a virus scan (avg) and a adware scan (ad-aware) it found stuff and removed them but im still getting pops

hmm , try spybot search an destroy scan as well , i have found that it can fiind stuff adaware cant and visa versa

oh and do you have a firewall?

 

[compguy91]

try downloading hijackthis and copying & pasting the logfile at hijackthis.de and delete anything that comes up as bad.

 

[sfxhewitt]

i only have windows firewall but i have never had pop ups like this

try nod32 I hear its really good.

Go in to the services and stop then disable windows messenger. Then go to tools in IE and turn on the popup blocker.

 

[Raffaz]

The services will only be enabled with SP1 its disabled by default with SP2

yeah can be a pain in the ass instead of trying loads of diff scans to get rid of it i just installed Maxthon its a new web browser which has a brilliant built in pop up blocker

i know this is not a fix but its an alternative ?

are they pop ups from the internet or all around on the desktop?
