First get go to Download.com and get Spybot Search and Destroy. Update the definitions to Adaware and Spybot. If you are running XP, right click my computer, choose Properties, and then choose system restore. Turn off System Restore. \n\nRun both Adaware and Spybot. Clean everything out. \n\nReboot the computer. Boot into safe mode. Do this by pressing F8 continuosly while the computer is booting up.\n\nWhen you are in safe mode, run Adaware and Spybot again.\nClean everything out again.\n\nReboot into normal Windows.\n\nRun Adaware and Spybot again. If everything comes up clean, turn your System restore back on, and hopefully it will be all set. \n\nThis is a fairly lengthy process and usually it will do the trick.\n\nIf this still doesn't work, you may have to resort to professional help or reformat. This is the first step (and by far the easiest) in removing the offending malware.\n\nGood luck.

You have spyware/adware installed on your computer..\nDownload a freeware antispyware prog like spybot search & destroy (which you can find at www.download.com) and scan your computer to remove the spyware and adware=]\n\nand i suggest you download a popup blocker too..

Do you have anti-spyware/anti-virus software installed? \n\nGet it if you don't have it, run a scan of all files on your computer. \n\nSometimes when I go to certain websites it causes me to get a lot of pop-ups, then I log off and do a scan. It takes off all the programs that make the pop-ups pop up.

You should get a spyware sweeper (Ad-Aware works great), and you should also use a pop-up blocker (I use Google and I'm very happy with it). These are both free products and can be found using any search engine.

I think you are still infected, that's why it popup everytime. Do not click on that link to download their anti-spyware, it is actually a  spyware of itself.\n\nTry McAfee Spyware or Notron AntiVirus (buildin Spyware protection), they are the best I have tried so far.

try ad-aware and/or spybot s&d. if that doesn't work, get hijackthis. also, make sure your windows patches are up to date as well as your virus protection.

It's probably adware. This is why that stuff is bad to download.\n\nTry going to add/remove programs and see if it can be uninstalled that way. If you already did that, you'll have to try something like spybot to see if it can get rid of it.
