How do you get these crap programs to quit installing on my computer. I am running Norton Internet virus scanner (or something like that). I got like 5 different versions of adware programs on there & get popups on every site i go to, even though the virus scanner says it is blocking popups. How do you totally get rid of these things & keep them from coming back. Any help would be appreciated.
all i know about is adaware and "spybot search and destroy." i just ran spybot s&d yesterday. things seem to be going well so far.
what browser do you use, if IE, get yahoo toolbar with anti popup, and anti spy, it works pretty good.
Yeah i use IE....will those get the adware off of my computer that is on there? The instructions from the Norton AntiVirus was wanting me to go into the rigistery & delete files & stuff.
dont be deleting stuff from your registry if you dont know what you are doing, easy way to F up your computer, Run spybot S&D, and Adware from LAvasoft. Then install the browser components i listed, and you should be fine for a while. and if you have the windows SP2, popups make it alive even less.
You might try restarting your computer in SAFE MODE and then run your antivirus/spyware programs (Norton Antivirus and/or Spybot and Lavasoft Ad-aware).
