I was using Limewire. I downloaded Bearshare today and Zango which supports it started giving me a lot of pop ups. I tried closing both Lime.. and bearshare they kept restarting. I restarted my PC but again they started up automatically. I kept getting an alert asking if I wanted to make Limewire my default magnetic reader (I think) If I pressed ok Limewire restarted. Then I uninstalled both from my PC. But still I'm getting a lot of popups. They are ads or webpages opening with IE. The webpages first open with www.ad-w-a-r-e.com... and then go on to other websites. My PC is running very slowly. I've scanned my PC atleast 5 times with Ad-Aware SE and I'm scanning it with Norton too. In between all this Spyware Nt (I think) asked if I want to install it. I thought it was anti-adware and installed it. Ad-aware showed me it was a critical object and I've uninstalled it. Pop ups keep coming. Please help me out....
