re: HELP!!! - Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' Sunday, April 11, 2004 at 8:07 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ben (1 messages posted) To get rid of pop ups... Go to www.download.com and download ad-aware 6.0 by lavasoft. Install and run. This program is designed to search out and delete all files that contain spyware (which usually translate to pop ups). After installing it, YOU MUST UPDATE THE SEARCH FILE SO THAT ALL NEW SPYWARE FOUND AFTER THE PROGRAM WAS MADE CAN BE FOUND AND REMOVED! This is an important step, otherwise your pop ups will continue. Also, I use google toolbar (found at google.com) which block pop ups. Its a great tool and its totally free and doesn't add anything but a tool bar in your IE window.... Hope this helps Ben On Friday, September 26, 2003 at 8:19 am, bBb wrote: >Help, > >I am running XP (a few weeks ago) > >2 days ago something got onto my h drive and i am getting sick amounts of pop ups, >i never had an issue before in 15yrs. > >It is affecting more than just my screen - i have already done the "messenger" in >service deal - my Services window only displays "messenger" not "winblah blah"). > >I am hoping this is the correct one?
