Hi
Don't know if I'm in the right forum. I have a question concerning my internet explorer. I have the right setting for the internet to prevent getting spamed and also have the google spam blocker. My problem is that I keep getting spamed and I can't shut down the windows. It keeps crashing my internet service and stalling out my computer. I have no virus that can be detected by two different programs. McAfee and another.... can anyone help me, or give me some suggestions?

Thanks...
 
Spam? or do you mean pop ups?
For pop ups try Spybot search and destroy, which is free or adware6.

Clean out your temp internet files and cookies ( click tools in internet
explorer, then internet options)

Good luck!

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.


Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.
Ad-aware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

Spybot S&D
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download



If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program. It
is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and give you
the ability to disable them.

Hope this helps.

doesn't any know about the options "Enable third-party browser extensions"
in Tools, Internet Options, advanced tab?

you can install the best spyware in the world but its not gonna help you
much. Mainly because it can't detect what it doesn't know or newly created
spyware.

by uncheck the box below in IE, you lock down on the way spayware software
uses to load everytime you loads IE.

anothe way is to make sure your internet zone are set to medium on security
tab.

\windows\Downloaded Program Files <<--- this directory contains activex,
java class that was downloaded to your system from all sort of vendors.
scout through this directory and remove them.

tips: if you right click on them and select properties, look in the CodeBase
and that should tell you the who is belogn to.
