I've been getting dozens of popups every time I turn on the computer and they keep coming until I turn it off. I have Ad-Aware and the Yahoo toolbar popup blocker with Anti-Spy, but I keep getting popups.

Spybot Search & Destroy. Ad-Aware is good too.



www.download.com



If you are still having problems, then you probably need to buy one like Spy Sweeper. Your PC must be seriously infected. You might try downloading Mozilla Firefox web browser for future web surfing. It keeps all that stuff from happening in the first place.

Adaware by Lavasoft. Go to www.download.com to get it. And to stop the popups, use Netscape or Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, which is reknowned for being as secure as a cotton candy safe.

Spybot Search and Destroy - available from download.com, there's also an anti-spyware tool in Norton AntiVirus 2005 or later.

No one app will do it. Use Spybot Search & Destroyy- http://www.safer-networking.org ; Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com , and if you have a genuine copy of windows use Microsoft Defender (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)

Go to www.microsoft.com and search for windows defender beta 2. You must have genuine windows to download it, but it's free and good. No hassles, no BS.

I agree with first one and third one. Spybot Search & Destroy and Ewido which can be found at http://www.ewido.net/en/download



very sufficient-these two.

yep. i agree with that. spybot is quite good. others that might help are housecall and ewido. they're all really thorough when it comes to eradicating the stuff you don't want.
