August 25, 2009

I keep getting these "offers" in the form of pop ups to scan my computer for adware, malware and registry cleaners too. I have ran my Web root spyware program as well as my avast anti virus to no avail. These "offers" seem to be slowing the internet substantially on my one computer. Though the rest of that computer seems to working fine. How do I get rid of these popups. I have set my internet security and privacy at high levels. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Programs I can download to stop this. Please help

Need spyware/virus help with a computer!! How to clean registry??

August 15, 2009

My friends computer has become infected with spyware or a virus. He is running Windows XP on a Compaq. Theres a little dialog box popping up constantly that says theres a virus on the computer. When you click on the box it redirects you to a spyware remover page. Obviously its an attempt to sell this product. How can I remove this and stop all these pop ups? I was thinking about manually cleaning the registry. How would I go about that? And what about those programs in the Add/Remove programs in control panel that just wont go away? I need to get this junk off his computer. What do I do? Without spending money that is.
