Adware

[Fl_Gulfer]

I have adware poping up whenever I go into I.E. It happened after I
installed a Download Manager (removed Now) well now I can't get rid of the
crap. I tryed SpySweeper, Ad-Aware SE. I even tryed running Ad Smasher
before I went on-line but they still pop-up. And there always different
URL's so I can't just block one. Any Ideas where to look in the registry
to find these things before I have to reinstall XP. Thanks

To limit adware,open internet options,L.click each icon one at a time,
at each L.click,select,set to default on the button,after each is set close
out.
If SP2 is installed,locata and check the box in privacy tab,limit pop-ups.

Try MS's own flavour:

Use the "Settings" menu to configure it to run an in-depth scan.
