Okay here's the problem..There's this website that keeps appearing like every five minutes trying to con me by saying that they scanned my pc and I have dangerous viruses on it and that I need to download their program before it's too late. I've pop-ups kinda like this but not to this extreme. Let me explain exactly whats going on...Even when I have NO windows open and the computer is hibernating these windows still appear and they even put an unwanted wallpaper background on my computer..I've went in and deleted it three times now which only stays deleted for like 5 minutes! AAAAAH I'm going crazy! I have MacAfee security and I Windows XP! My question is does any one know How I can block this site cause I've tried and I have no clue..PLEASE HELP!

clear all your cookies. history. and private data.. do a disk clean up,
then go to Mozilla and download firefox 2 it is the best web browser out there,, more secure, faster,
download it and install it. then read the help files on how to set it up to auto delete you history, cookies and private data on logging off the internet...

Is the scam advertising trying to sell you, one (or more) of these useless products? If it is one of these, then it is likely an infection called Smitfraud that is causing the phony warnings. It is scam advertising trying to swindle you. And a link to a free removal tool is down at the bottom.

If so, then you most likely have a serious Smitfraud infection and a free removal tool called SmitFraudFix with the removal procedure is here:

More infomation and another free removal tool called RogueFix can be found here:

Most "All-Purpose" malware apps such as AVG, Norton, Spybot etc unfortunatly can not remove or even detect this vile pest called Smitfraud.
Good luck.

yes ad-ware will do the trick-- www.download.com search for adware and download it.
but another pointer would be to get rid of mcaffee and install AVG
mcaffee is good but avg is just as good
mcaffee is also loaded with a ton of crap you do not need the same goes for norton--
if you have a computer that is not brand new i would do this
first uninstall mcaffee
start^control panel^ add/remove programs and click mcaffee and remove if you have multi mcaffee programs delete them all
after you delete go to download.com and search for AVG download it install it then click update it is free and wont take up nearly as much of your system resources as mcaffee

Hi
I did a copy and paste because I post this suggestion a lot. I suggest that you download some free anti-spyware and anti-virus programs and perform full/thorough scans. These programs are very effective for removing these types of problems:
AVG Anti-Virus:

Spyware Terminator:

Super Anti-Spyware:

If you don't have a firewall installed try one of these:
Comodo:

Even if you block them, they'll still pop out. The pop-ups are run by spyware/malware. Use Ad-aware 2007 to get rid of them. You can download them free at http://www.lavasoft.com or from http://www.download.com and search for spyware removal.
You can also use Spybot Search & Destroy from http://www.safer-networking.org
I use 'em both.
