| 475030 | 2006-07-31 21:35:00 | Ok, I have a virus that gives me constant loads of pop-ups from IE when it's not even running, I need to know the steps to succesfully identify a virus/trojan/spyware and then destroy it. Thanks, Relyt_123 |

| 475032 | 2006-07-31 21:41:00 | since you havent posted your operating system I'll assume that you are running xp........clik the link below and download 'ewido' it's EXCELLENT and it's a free months trial ......it soun'ds to me like the possibility is that you have some nasty spyware not necessarily a virus.......anyway..download ewido then update it then run a scan.... www.ewido.net |

| 475034 | 2006-07-31 21:57:00 | What kind of pop-ups? It might just be the Messenger Service, which is easy to disable. | Greg (193) | ||
| 475035 | 2006-07-31 22:06:00 | Internet Explorer Pop-ups...porn pop-ups and "your computer is infected with spyware" pop-ups that are spyware in itself. And Windows itself was saying I had a virus it had the virus alert thing in the tray, but it seems to have dissapeared after the scan, and no pop-ups either. But there was lots of spyware on my comp though so that was most likely the problem. I already disabled the messenger service I believe. I'll check anyway. | relyt_123 (10878) | ||

| 475037 | 2006-07-31 22:15:00 | Really I was just looking for a good free anti-spyware software to get it off of my system. I'm pretty sure it's fixed thanks guys for your help. Might have to buy ewido. | relyt_123 (10878) | ||
| 475038 | 2006-07-31 22:20:00 | I've used AVG free for seven years and these comps are still going fine. I'd advise you check thru the FAQs and you'll learn a lot. | mark c (247) | ||

Might have to buy ewido. yeah thats right, just fix the symptoms not the cause. if it wasn't for the popups you would never know you where infected. most likely you have multiable infections........ but hey you don't seem to care about infecting everyone else on the planet :mad: :badpc: |
