well i think i have ad ware i dont know what it really is but i think i do because i think it means that there is alot of pop-ups when you have like a pop up blocker and when you get to a pop-up free site there are pop-ups there. well can you plz help me i need help with my computer!:furious: :feedback:
Whilst some popups are designed to fool pop up blockers (depending on how good the popup blocker is) the chances are that you may have an adware problem. Programs like Ad-Aware 6 are designed to remove spyware/adware/malware. I would run it about once every 1-2 weeks to make sure your computer is free of it.

ya i have that but you know some pop ups are still going on should i use the ad-aware on the administrator cause i have windows 2000. so do you think i should do that? and i never really known that it gets rid of spyware but thats preety cool.
I would certainly try using the administrator priveleges as it may not pick up as many things on a user account due to the privieleges. Another idea might be to use Spybot or another spyware/adware remover to see if it picks up anything that Ad-aware doesnt. When i do it i use both. Also update the detection rules (i know spybot does this, not sure whether ad-aware does but i would suspect so) to make sure that it scans for newer adware.
I'm currently using Spy Sweeper. Does a damn good job of seeking through folders and the registry. Lets me know when an adware is running in memory.
well i used my ad-aware on my username and my admin so i think it got rid of every thing. there is no more like pop-ups and everything but i have a question are tracking cookies bad? cause like when i was using ad-aware i found alot of things that were tracking cookies.

Cookies are gay. Period. I try to clear out my temp folder every couple of days.
Ad-aware is a great program that I use to stop all the crap that comes with using the internet :)
No its not. Its a program you use to remove all the crap that comes with using the internet. Ad-aware doesnt block shit.
Err yes thats what I said remove/stop wateva
