Title: Pop ups causing stress
Post by: long tom on November 29, 2006, 12:25:07 PM

I have a problem, I keep getting a pop-ups from the bar at the bottom of the screen, they come from  fashing yellow triangular icons (just like the exclimation triangle in the smiles) in the right corner. They are advertising all sorts of spyware, antivirus ect, they are called virusbusters and antivirmis, what can do to delete them.

Do me a favour?
Download & run RogueRemover from http://www.malwarebytes.org/
It's a very small download and will only take you a minute to try.

Afterwards DLoad and run a little ditty called Shoot The Messenger which enables you to disable or turn on messenger service.

What protection programs do you run on that machine ? ?
