Pop up help?

Question

Every time I go on the Internet, there are different website advertisers that just pop-up. my pop-up blocker is already on, but i don't know why it keeps coming up.

Can anyone help?

i tried to scan for viruses but comes up empty.

Answer 1

Run a good Antispyware scan with Superantispyware and A-Squared Free 3.0. Both are free. You may have to do this in safe mode (restart computer and press F8 repeatedly until choice screen appears)

If it finds things you should clean it and then you should probably delete any restore points so it can't come back.

If those can not fix your problem Google for the terms Smitfraud fix and Vundo fix. You may have to use these special programs for removal.

Answer 2

Scan your PC with this it free and does a good job for finding infections. Go the the left og the page and scan with ewido.

The programs below will help you stop them. Also turn on your pop-up blocker in your browser.

Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....

Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html...
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

It's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

Answer 4

ive had this problem in the past, its more than likely spyware or adware, either way you need to remove it, the long option would be to back up all of your hard drives onto discs and completely reboot your computer to its factory state or buy a decent anti spyware program. i use webroot spysweeper, that usually does the trick or look around the internet for recommended antispyware programs. hope you get rid of whatever it is displaying pop-ups because i know, it so annoying!

good luck.
