Sounds like spyware if they are coming from out of the blue! Or, if it is just whilst browsing they may just be a new breed of popups that can bypass a popup blocker? (I still get a couple with the SP2 pack, but not many at all).

its whilst im browsing Admin,
i gess its only a couple at the moment but im scared itll increase

 

[Ian]

Does it happen on all sites, or just a few? (as this site shouldn't have any popups).

that would be spyware/adware... run the fully updated version of Adaware 6.0 and it should pick up the stuff...

I had loads of pop ups until i deleted them...

 

[psd99]

yes i can rule out this its not this site!

thanks ill run adaware and see what i find
fingers crossed eh

pop-up problems

recently I've downloaded antispy tool from microsoft, it is realy amazing, easy to use, it solved ol of mine my pop-up issues!

yep try m$ anti spyware.. while none of the scanners around tend to detect or remove the latest advert / spy software the m$ one has a nice feature of alerting you to new browser helper objects and startup items - very nice - link to DL it (free!) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A2-6A57-4C57-A8BD-DBF62EDA9671&displaylang=en

a lot of people have been infected with something called 'solid peer' it basically infects your browser and pops up advert windows as you surf,. at this point (well as of a day or 2 ago) neither spybot or adaware could remove it properly.. luckily it has a reasonable uninstaller - is step by step guide > Remove Solid Peer

negatvie ive tried all that

done a full system scan
but the bloody popus still come through and they get worse too. i still get words HIGHLITED in green colour,its so annoying
umm i want to uninstall and reinstall IE but i cant even do that

so the short term soultion is to move to a different browser for now
i hate this spyware/adaware stuff

 

[silver]

sure it's not solid peer, check your add-remove programs list, have you installed anything recently like morpheous ?

[psd99]

i looked on my add/remove i see one thing

START NOW but im sure ve had that for ages, and cuz when i ran adaware rwmoval when i try to unistall it it dont unistall..

the only thing i can hink of that ive installed recently is GTA2 a free and legal download

i dont see solid peer there which i think is good news anyway

my question is how can i remove or clean my browser?
