307957 2004-12-27 03:00:00 Install Firefox. I've stopped using IE for more than a year now. Firefox has built in anti-pop up as well as tabbed browsing.

307959 2004-12-27 03:06:00 Download and install AdAware and SpyBot search and destroy
www.download.com
www.download.com
Run Both programs and they should remove the Malware that is targeting porn to your computer.
Then install Firefox.

Download and run Ccleaner first. ( www.ccleaner.com )
Then if ad-aware and Spybot S&D don't work, try CWShredder ( www.majorgeeks.com )

307961 2004-12-27 03:47:00 i would sugguest you DO NOT run the registry cleaner part of ccleaner especially before giveing the usuall spyware progs a run. otherwise you may run into big problems. its safer to run a reg cleaner AFTER you have cleaned out the spyware or have an usuall spyware which needs breaking out.

nothing wrong with useing ccleaner to clean out the temp files (where the spyware installer is often hiding).

307962 2004-12-27 08:29:00 Nothing to do with Internet Explorer at all. Definately spyware.... indoorcricket (5398)

I agree. Download Firefox. In fact, with 98Lite, as I have installed it, gets rid of IE, Outlook Express, AND Active X thus quadrupling the space on my small drive.
