adware keeps coming

[Guest]

I am having problems with popups and i know where they are coming from
because whenever an ad comes up i bring up windows task manager and right the
ad and click "go to process" and it takes me to this process called CxPls.exe
or AutoUpdate.exe and whenever i run mcafee to get rid of them they either
come back or i can delete a certain one called CxtPls.dll any help would
be very appreciated

Just out of curiousity, why should people download the files from you when
you can't be guaranteed to have the most up-to-date installers? Why not
point the user to the actual download sites at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/,
http://security.kolla.de/, http://www.ewido.net/ and
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn? Not that Joe.domain is any more
'trustable' than blow.domain, but, when I see you linking to other peoples
tools that you host on your own website, I think two things:

1) What has he done to the tools?
2) Is he hosting the current version of the tool?

(ok, I also think 'Do the other companies know that he is hosting their
programs?')

There are hundreds of sites that host these files, who's to say they are
updated. I use these tools everyday and update them when a newer version
comes out. It is what I do for a living. I don't recommend anything let
alone post it on my site if I have not tested it. I just changed those links
last month to point to my site because I know my version is up to date. I
see too many times peoples hjt logs with them using the wrong version or
people saying Spybot 1.3. If they get it from me then I know they have the
current version. Why would I give them outdated software if I am trying to
help them fix their system. The only reason MSAS points to MS is because
that is still beta and constantly changing. As far as them knowing I have it
on my site yes they do, check it out if you doubt me, and I will soon be an
official mirror for Ad-Aware.
