everytime i open up my google, a popup ad comes up and i know it's not part of google because they never have those kinds of ads. anyway, i've used ad-aware 6 and spy sweeper and everything to try and get rid of it, but everytime i "quarantine", i open up google, or any site for that matter and there's the popup ad again! it's like..there's no end!

Download Spywareblaster, install and run once a week.

another program people might want to try for spywar is "spyware blaster" it stops it from geting on you system in the first place

Hmmmm, get rid of everything like but Ad Aware 6 and spybot. Download Spywareblaster, install and run once a week. I got it coming to LW, and I got K's of popups every minute. I've got none now. Try your browser popup blocker settings.

Oh yeah, delete all the quarantined items, too.
El Taco Posted at 11:11 pm on June 29, 2004
Don't quarantine. Delete all. That's what I do, and it works. Delete it all. Don't quarantine shit.
