Weird: Adware comming directly from PC
Hey guys:
Just wanted to ask. Everytime I boot my PC (and at random intervals while it's on) a pop-up window, as in an ad, apears on the desktop. It happens always, even if I'm not connected. One can only assume that this is comming from some Ad-ware installed in the PC.
I ran Ad-Aware, and even though I remove some things, I can never remove whatever is causing the pop-up, because it keeps happening. I suspect one of two things:
1) It's very clever Ad-Ware with an elusive name to evade Ad-Aware.
2) It might actually be "integrated" in the code for something already running.
Either way, I need to ask if any of you have had this happen to them. Is there any way I can check where the code for the window is running from? I have checked the Task Manager, everything running is normal.
It's not really that bothersome, but I would think it interesting to find a way to get rid of it, cuz it is kinda' anoying (interrupts my Battle.net games, grrrrrr).
