Update your anti-virus or use AVG Free.\nGoto www.Lavasoft.com - download Ad-Aware SE  - free for personal use. Removes Adware.\nFind Spybot Search and Destroy, load, run - Removes Adware.\nRemember\nYou can only run 1 antivirus program at a time. Do a full virus scan on a weekly basis.\nYou can run more than 1 adware remover because they are manual scans initiated by you. Run about once a week.\nAlso, make sure you have a firewall.\n\nIt's up to you to defend yourself, Live, love, laugh, and always learn\nCiao,,,

Download Mozilla's Firefox browser. It will eliminate spyware and pop ups. It is a better browser than Internet Explorer. With Firefox and Zone Alarm, both free, you have the best protection and elimination of pest pop ups. \nFor Firefox:\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/\n\nFor Zone Alarm:\nhttp://www.download.com/3000-2092-10039884.html

First of all completely uninstall Norton, then download AVG free from the following link, update it and scan your computer:\nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10596553.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nYou must also get an anti-spyware. SpyBot is the best among the free ones. Get it, update and scan the system again:\n http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/spy...\n\nFor prevention of intrusion into your system, use a firewall. ZoneAlarm is the best among the free ones:\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/ZoneAlarm_Free_d388.html

What browser are you running? I have noticed that this happen to me too when I'm running Explorer especially. For several reasons, I quit using IE and switched to Firefox, with the Yahoo toolbar. Now the popups are GONE, I mean maybe I get a popup once a week, and I'm on the web alot.\nGood luck

HI friend,\n     I have always come across those popups that popup unwantedly when you visit some unknown or sometimes even well known websites.\n     If you are using a Windows XP Operating System, then try to install Service Pack 2, which can easily solve the problem.\n     If you dont have WIN XP Operating System or even face problems after installing WIN XP SP2, then its good to have a search engine toolbar, I am talking about the best toolbar to use, the Google Toolbar, can easily solve the problem as it has many inbuilt features including popup blocker.\n     And my last preference for blocking popup is a third party Hitware Popup Killer software tool, which can easily block popups, I think its a freeware.\n\n     Thats it, have a good time\n          warm regards,\n            K.A.G.S.

Of course unexpected home page changes are really a result of adware/spyware programs and not viruses, therefore norton antivirus will not detect them.try to download spybot S&D or Lavasoft adaware and scan your computer.\nI think your computer is infected with some kind of spyware\n\nSpybot S&D :  http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/\n\nLavasoft adaware : http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/

Without knowing more info about your system, it's very hard to tell you exactly what to do in order to fix the problem.  However, AVG doesn't remove popups, bur rather it's a virus scanner.\n\nIt's perfectly OK to have multiple internet connections, such as dial-up, a LAN, or wi-fi.  When you access the internet, you simply choose which connection you want to use that time.  \n\nTo remove a connection, go to Tools, Options, click the Connections tab at the top, then select the connection you want to remove and hit Remove.\n\nI would suggest downloading Ad Aware, which is free, to remove those annoying popups.  It works very well, but you definitely have to keep it updated as more and more of them hit the market.

Anti spy removes spyware, adwares & cookies picked by your computer from various websites, only when you run it. Pop-up blocker is different, it remains active all the times. If you need to install a pop-up blocker simply download yahoo toolbar, it has a pop up blocker installed in it. \n\nhttp://toolbar.yahoo.com

dowload Yahoo! toolbar @ http://toolbar.yahoo.com it has a good anti-spyware and pop-up blocker. that's what i use and i don't get any pop-up. just scan your PC frequently with the toolbar anti-spyware to clear the spywares on your PC that causes the pop-ups

I would first install a good virus scan and spyware removal software. free.grisoft.com has avg and spybot.com is also free. Run these and see if the popups go away. then install either the google or yahoo toolbar from their respective3 sites and you won't get any more pop-ups. Chances are your registry is fine, but if it is truly damamged, you will need to reinstall xp and do the repair current installation. just put the install cd in the drive and reboot then follow the directions. Cleaning does not repair a damaged registry, just removes unused and unwanted items. Using this type of program is usually what causes damage to the registry in the first place, Specially if your not sure what you are doing.

Use this antivirus. It's the best and it's FREE. \nNorton and others just make money off you.\nI had all kinds of trouble with my pc for 4 years while using Norton. Q&A solved my problem. I got AVG and had no problems since. I just love it!
