so yea, my little cousin came over and spent like a weekend at my house, and the little perv decided to go porn surfing on my computer...so now i have like tons of popups when im going to sites like ...yahoo, or google...i was wondering if anybody knew of a good program(preferably free) that i could use to delete all that crap ... like torjans, worms, or whatever from my computer? ... if anybody can help...it would be great..
thank you :(
http://security.kolla.de/ will get ya spybot (pretty much the standard) which should help you , little cousin ya right :)
to tell the truth, my little cuz actually did mess up my computer...as lame as it does sound. if im gonna surf porn, i would have had one of those things before i did it, to stop the problem from even begining :D
Heres a site that has some pop up stopper software on it.
It sounds like you have a bit of spyware or a trojan on your system (I would lean towards a spyware trojan) as a site that didn't have popups before wouldn't have popups now. run spybot s&d and an anti virus to clean the system.
If u want true power over the Internet, you must weild the Proxomitron....a gracefull and masterfull weapon for internet Guru's....with It's immense power, it sits between your browser and the Dark Dark internet, and defends your computer from the dark side....
ok..enough of the Jedi crap, Proxomitron is the key, it can disable annoying Java, remove banners, pop-up's and well......just about any thing you want....if you read the instalation notes it makes sense....if you don't read them...then you'll get lost...trust me..
Go google "Proxomitron" to find their website.....best of all...it's Free!
oh...Btw, SpyBot S&D dosn't kill pop-up's...it kills limited sites and tool of Privacy Infringement.

I understand that...he has spyware or a trojan on his system. No popups before his nephew, now he gets lots of them...thats spyware...this is not a normal occurance and blocking the popups isn't the answer
