I dont know what I clicked on, or where I clicked on what, but I have something in my computer that wont go away.

I downloaded a popup killer, but even working, it leaves a box, somekinda Javascript that didnt run or something.

Where can I look in my computer to find this thing and get rid of it PLEASE....

Install and run Ad-Aware 6.

you got Ad-Aware or other spykillers? And Zone-Alarm? To keep it from getting to the internet?

Buy a firewall program like Norton internet security. You can pay on the site download it off the net and have it up and running in a couple miutes. Completely stopped pop ups for me.

Look here for the one you want.

The Internet security is like $70 but it's stopped several viruses and blocked hacker intrusions, and killed pop ups on my computer. $70 is a lot cheaper that buying a new computer after a virus shreds your partions(like my father-in-law had happen)


This one is free and removed all spy ware applications from my computer. I found it a bit easier to use than adaware.

And check for udpdates regularly.

I have the following:

Ad-Aware 6
AVG
Zone-Alarm


I check at least daily for updates to Ad-Aware 6 and AVG, as well as Windoze updates.....

Ad-aware is a free download from lavasoft - highly recommened. Spybot is another good one.

I also use a paid version of Privacy Scanner which does spyware and also key stroke catchers.

Norton has Ad Blocker in its firewall too.

AVG:

There are of course other programs available for all three purposes: Firewall, Virus Checking, and spybot/ad killing.....

I am downloading SpyBot now. It and Ad-Aware seem to catch things the other miss. Both together is the best option, I hear.....

Take an AR and a loaded mag.

Place the mag in the magwell in the normal manner.

Pull the charging handle to the rear and release to battery.

Thump bolt forward assist with the heel of your hand.

Place the weapon select switch on fire.

Aim directly at your CPU.

Commence fire.

Continue till no popups show up.


thank me later

You can probably get rid of the one you installed by going to Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Software

Look for what you installed and uninstall it.  if it's not there then it gets hard to get rid of.

Good luck.
