Pop-ups galore

For some reason today Ive been getting tons and tons of pop-up ads, more than usual, is there a reason for all this? Is there anyway to stop it? Do I want an add for Club Jenna when im about to make a head shot in counter strike? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Im sick of them as Im typing this I just got 5 ads for realistate. I mean im beating them off with a stick as they come. IS THERE ANY WAY TO STOP THEM?

I never get pop ups from Snarkpit.

Sounds like spyware to me.

at home on my DSL i never get them, but at my dads on dial-up, i get them every click of the mouse :sad:

wonder whats the diff between dial-up and DSL?

could it be my router? he has XP home and i am running 2000pro and XP pro.

Get ad aware.

I download a lot, but not to where Id install anything like that! Wait I just got another pop-up after installing ad ware and runing it saying that I have spyware and ad ware on my comp.lol lol lol lol lol what should I do im so confused???!?!??!?!?!?

If you've installed Ad Aware, run it. Then start the scan. Once its finished, just click all the checkboxes to the files it found and click next.

can't recall about adaware, but spybot will allow you to immunize and block many future issues.. i prefer spybot..

but you must chose, cause adaware and spybot do not like each other..

google search spybot

well yeah I did that, but it didnt delete some due to the fact I was running them.

So do Ctrl+Alt+Del and shut down those programs, then delete them.

Thanks all everythings cleared now, I had about 219 files that ad ware found. ugghhhh thank WC.

If you run Ad Aware every week (if you do lots of surfing on different sites) if not, every 2 weeks should do.

No your advice was good also, WC just beat you to the answer, maybe if you weren't scraching your ass so much you could get to the answer faster, lol

i assume, either school, or site updating again.. could explain my woes tonight :sad:

lep may be playing another joke again..

Site updating?

If you are referring to those grey pop up ads on your desktop, there is another way to stop them.On you computer go to:

control panel/administrative tools/services

now scroll down to messenger and set it to manual or disable (I personally dont use messenger so I just disabled it)

This will stop unwanted pop ups while playing CS.

Hope this helps!

I forgot about that Jinx. I know about it though. And if you mean MSN messenger, you can still use it even though you disable messanger. Cause thats like a Windows messanger thingy

Jinx?, I did'nt see a post from him here?

juim

and i just installed MSN again on my pc, the one with the script message, you think its coincidence?

I thought I saw Jinx. Sorry juim. Meant you.

Must be the drugs. :biggrin:

I prefer Spybot way more than Ad-Aware, I've tried both but ad-aware seemed to, well, addy for me. The best combination for ad blocking is to use a program to block ads (ZoneAlarm has one) and then set cookies to prompt, and only allow the select few pages you need to have cookies and from then on your scans will be clean like my own.

Mozilla blocks all web popups by default :smile:

google toolbar blocks popups. ive blocked 269. it also lets you whitelist certain sites like fileplanet that you need popups for :smile:

So does mozilla! And without having to install a 3rd part search bar (it already has a google search box). I'm detirmined to get everyone to use mozilla firefox :smile:

When I used Addware last night it removed over 300 cookies and other rubbish.

another reason to use spybot..

it blocks many of them in advance :smile:

i used to use adaware faithfully, till i discovered spybot.. the tramp enticed me till i could no longer resist

spybot, the bitch

lol Orph you seem to have a program running on your computer that sticks in Javascript on HTML pages- I'm guessing you installed a popup stopper? In which case get rid of it, Google toolbar works 99%

I downloaded spybot and it seems grand. Only thing is it takes ages to update compared to adaware. Probably worth it if it does in fact find more stuff.

lep, i installed spybot and msn messenger only.. i will look again, but as i said, i just reformatted, at that time, i didn't even have winzip installed yet

Reformat again :biggrin: I just did.

Well if you're using XP I recommend just having the shell zip and WinRAR for other archive needs.
