Hi,

Let me approach your questions one by one:

1. You get these sleazy popups coz you are infected with adware.

2. FireFox is considered a safer browser. This may be the reason you don't get the popups. If you are using IE5 or IE6, you may not have a popup blocker. Another reason why you see it on IE and not on FireFox.

Here is how you can get rid of the adware.

1. Download Ad Aware SE Personal, You can search with those kewyords on www.download.com and you will be able to find it.

2. Install and run Ad Aware. Remove whatever is listed as adware.

3. This should solve your problem. If it doesn't, then download and install Spybot Search & Destory. Again download it from www.download.com. Repeat step 2 with spybot.

4. If this still doesn't work, HijackThis most certainly will. But you need to know what you are doing when you use HijackThis.

THis must be some adware that has got installed. Remove all the Downloaded Program files. If you use IE go to Tools -->Internet Options --> Tempory internet Files Settings --> View Objects. Then see if any items are there in the list. Remove from there. Also go to Windows Control Panel and uninstall any Toolbars etc that have got installed.This is a potentially dangerous situation and the malware may actually steal information from your PC.

Your antivirus is from the other dimension of this universe, uninstall both the quick hela and norton (they do suck) and install AVG and Lavasoft Ad-Aware. And please, don't go to such websites withs trojans and spwares, such as erotic web sites and such, the little happiness you will get is equal to a problem for a long time so do control yourself.

An celebration is the diverse issues mom and father will enable their youngsters to study in college regards sex, it really is only biology. seem on the diverse guidelines latest between the mid west and the coasts of the U.

So, in a civilised society we ought to take the line of least resistance and pander to their hangups which gasoline the perverts through conserving issues 'less than wrap'. This ought to therefor also observe to 'solutions', regrettably.

you need to cleen out your tracking cookies, and adware. some one was browsing the porn sites on your computer, and it only takes one to get the tracking cookies in your computer so clean them out. oh and Norton isn't a good security system to have. Use AVG it's better and there is a free edition. if Trust me on this Norton s u c k s. AVG is good. Download Spybt search and destroy, and AVG. run both complete test and you will be fine. But to get rid of your problem you only need to run Spybot Search and Destroy.
