Open Question: Adware? Spyware? A Pain!?

18 November 2008, 2:18 pm

Hello all, Currently when i am online, using any web browser, sites will come up in separate windows and appear that way on the task bar. They are not pop-ups from sites im viewing (i know this as i use firefox which has a blocker and these windows appear while im on sites that would not have pop-ups, especially advertising plastic surgery or blinds etc.) but rather for some reason websites are being loaded onto my computer without me doing anything! My initial responce is that it was adware or something. I installed spy bot in order to scan for this as well as a boot scan by avast. Though they found some issues that i have dealt with, the problem still is present. Any ideas of what exactly is going on here and how i may get rid of it would be fantastic and will stop hillary blinds disrupting my youtube viewing! Thank you!... Read More »
