Bl**dy Popups!

Postby Huw » Thu Jul 08, 2004 5:48 pm

Is it me? Whenever I sign on in here I get loads of pop-ups for spy-ware ads....even tho' I have the AOL pop-up blocker on!
Probably something has got into my P.C and I'm too stupid to realise it and it's nowt to do with the Boxer site. :oops:

.....Still it relieved my anger :evil: :evil: :evil:

It's you mate. We're not sophisticated enough to launch pop-up ads at you. Sounds like you need to download some spyware killers onto your machine. Goto http://www.spywareremoversreview.com/ to download the appropriate free software.

Cheers,

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

there's a new virus going around that gets into your registry and then buggers your virus protection programs so you can't download a fix for it, I've got the bastard but all it does for me is pop-up spyware warning shit at initial opening of Internet (porn)Explorer and changed the homepage to a search engine that is not actually on the net but in your machine (about:blank).

Total re-install coming up soon :?
