Ads Show Up The Top Of Every Page
« on: February 14, 2007, 12:34:02 AM »
 Alright, here's the situation:

I have both Internet Explorer & Mozilla. I'd love to stick with Mozilla, however, whenever I copy tables from the Mozilla web browser and paste it in Excel, ALL the items appear in one cell and they don't get spread out.

IF THERE IS A WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THEN REPLY NOW AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THE REST OF THIS. IF THERE ISN'T A WAY TO FIX THIS, PLEASE READ ON.

The only way to cut a paste a table from a web page to Excel is if I'm using the Internet Explorer web browser. However, in Internet Explorer (this doesn't appear in my Mozilla) ads show up at the top of every page. It didn't used to be like this, which tells me I have some sort of spy ware or something. The following links show examples:

These ads are constantly reloading, making the browser slow and makes it VERY difficult to copy & paste tables due to this. Here are some things I have already tried to get rid of these ads:

1) System Restore
2) Virus Scan
3) Spy Ware Scan
4) Deleted all Temporary Internet Files, Cookies & History
5) Disabled all Internet Explorer Add-Ons
6) Uninstalled Internet Explorer & then reinstalled
7) Disabled everything in the "Startup" tab in "System Configuration Utility"
8) Went to Add/Remove Programs and removed anything that I was unsure of

To no avail, I have not gotten rid of this thing yet. I viewed the HTML code from these ads and here is the code:

It's like a separate web page on top of the page I want to view. Anyway, does anybody know what is going on? Does anybody have any tricks on how I can get rid of this? If I should post this in a different topic room, please let me know.

Many thanks to all who help! :-)

    Thank you for the reply, but I was able to download Ad-Aware and it did the trick! Thanks for replying though!

    Also you might want to grab a FireFox extension called ADBlock Plus... before doing so grab MoZBack and make a backup of your current profile just in case...
