Pop-ups

[Treeskier]

Hi, I have the Google Bar 2.0 that also blocks pop-ups! It's been working
for months with not a single pop-up getting through. I guess a week ago I
started to get pop-ups again even though my google is still enabled. Anyone
else having this problem? The only thing I may have done around that time
was to install and run Spybot. There were 2 things called "Downloadware" or
similar to that, that could not be removed using Spybot. Should I load up
some other pop-up blocker?
Any help is always appreciated...Thank you

You've got some spyware, and that's a likely cause of your popups.
Try this link for manual removal:

Before you go that route, you might find it easier if you attempt
another scan with a different program. Try AdAware and see if that
helps:

I've also had a good experience with a free spyware blocker called
Spyware Blaster. In fact, I have not had a single instance of spyware
on my machine since installing this.

Good luck!
