is there anyway that i can get rid of pop ups that keep on coming up? i have my firewall to block them. but they still keep on popping up, i did install warez p2p but removed it. someone told me this is the problem. is there any way that i can get these damn pop ups to stop?
i have adware but it's not detecting it as well, same for spybot or my anti-virus. i'll try the fox fire
If you are on Windows XP ;; they could be coming from Windows Messenger service -- Turn it off ! This way :- http://www.stopmessengerspam.com/windows_xp/windows_xp.html
i do have windows xp but the pop ups never showed up until the warez p2p. i've never used windows messenger. somebody told me its from warezp2p but he did tell me if there was a way to get rid of it.
