unending pop-up(s)

[Mary]

Can someone please help me? For the last 2 days, I have
been getting a continuous pop-up on my laptop that will
not stop! It is titled "Top Web!". Please tell me how I
can get this to stop. I am near tears! Last night I
puchased McAfee's virus scan/firewall, but that did not
help. The virus scan found no infected files. I don't
know what else to try. I have 2 files in a folder called
ClearSearch that I tried to delete because I thought they
might be causing it, but it won't let me delete them
(write-protected). How can I get rid of them? HELP!

install adsgone 2004 ver 4.2.6 or 4.2.7 set it up proper and it will kill
all popups what u don't want to see.

Oh, and be especially wary of people who advise you to do nothing
more than disable the messenger service. Disabling the messenger
service, by itself, is a "head in the sand" approach to computer
security. The real problem is _not_ the messenger service pop-ups;
they're actually providing a useful, if annoying, service by acting as
a security alert. The true problem is the unsecured computer, and
you've been advised to merely turn off the warnings. How is this
helpful?

Also be especially wary of those who would advise you to keep the
Messenger Service running but not tell you to at least patch your
system against this vulnerability:

I also am getting this junk.

I have NOD32, dPetPatrol, SecretMaker, Google Toolbar, HijackThis!,
SpyBot Seacrh & Destroy and So far am unable to block the popup.

All the <links> on the page are effectively blocked, however, the page
itslef still is displayed about @ minute or so.


Though I see: http://ggsearch.com/media/par313/topsearch1creative.html
in the Properties of the page and it is Indeed the page of the Top
Web! Junk. I can't seem to block the junk.


When I find the company responsible, I'd like to publish some of the
people home phone numbers..
