Web ads

[Guest]

I keep getting advertisements in my Explorer window itself. Like for example if I was at Yahoo.com, it would appear above all that's supposed to be there, like the searchbar, etc.. Can someone please help me out? Thanks so much!

Thanks Mary. I do have Ad-Aware and I run scans everyday but it still doesn't remove that annoying little ad. And it's always been that same annoying thing! The problem is that the ad is actually within the browser itself. It's not a pop-up. Any other suggestions?

Hi Mirlina,

More info about parasites:

Download the utility CWshredder:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Unzip - close *all* instances of IE & OE, hit the executable and
follow
the prompts.

You can also download Hijack This from here:

http://www.mjc1.com/files/merijn/hijackthis.exe

Go here:
http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

For instructions on how to use it; you have to post the log it
produces so experts tell you what is good and what is malware


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.
