I keep getting popups that look like webpages even when I am not online.  Its not like those messages but popups in full color. I may dozens show up when I come back to my computer some hours later. Also when I run the adware 6.  It detects a malware?  Its says its a popup generator and hijacker.  I delete it and it comes back later.  How can I get rid of this for good?

Dload and install 'ad aware' and 'spybot search and destroy. Both are freeware.

Update adaware (its got a built in updater) and also find the program "Spybot Search and Destroy"  With both of those you shouldn't get anything else.

Use a big f*cking hammer.

So good so far.  When I updated the AdAware, it picked up several more files that were not found before.  I got rid of those and no more pop ups.  If these bastards used as much resources and effort to find a cure for the flu instead of this shit, there wouldnt be anymore flu.

Once again the AR15 crew comes through!  All the stuff stopped!  Thanks guys.  I was tempted by the hammer suggestion.  I hate this Dell piece of Caca.
