Pop up 's ...can they be removed by anti spyware

[SGK]

Hi,
I have about 3 pop up installed on system, which pop up at
regular inervals.
I do not have any anti spyware identified by micro soft or
ad-aware.

Is there a way to find out and remove these pop up's
installed ?

Does snti spyware designed to do so ?

Appreciate help to remove these pop up's.

( I am not interested to have pop up blocker installed )

Thanks

Microsoft Antispyware can't prevent popups that occurs as part of using a
web browser on sites that generate popups or popunders. That's what a popup
blocker is for.

That said, your description makes me think that perhaps those run of the
mill popups are not what you are looking for relief from.

If you feel as though you've got something installed which is generating or
attracting these popups and they are coming at times when you are not
browsing with a web browser, you should probably do:

1) submit a tools, suspected spyware report within Microsoft Antispyware
(to help bring this tool up to snuff--if there's something there and they
are missing it, lets get them to look again.)

2) go to:
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm

and go through their cleaning protocol, and probably, in the end post a
HijackThis log in their forums, or email it to Ron Kinner, according to his
instructions in various messages in these groups. HijackThis logs are the
current standard for cleaning something unknown.

If you can give any useful characteristics of the popups you are seeing,
that may help.
