How do I get rid of a pop-up associated with a program I had on my computer?

October 18, 2009

I had installed Business Pro and then removed it using the Add/Remove Programs — I also cleaned out the registry. But the Windown Installer pop-up keeps coming back when I visit certain websites that have a lot of pop-ups. It asks for Windows Installer and the original disk — I do not have this. I use Windows XP Home Edition and clean my laptop using Ad-Aware and another registry cleaner — this is of no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s really annoying and the pop-up only goes away after I hit cancel at least three times!

I keep getting pop-up ads from IE7 of PC clean-up tools that ask me to download programs. How do I clean?

This happens even when IE7 is not already running. Pop-ups include "WinAnonymous", and antivirus software keep detecting a trojan called "Virtumonde", and keep successfully cleaning it out. However, the problem does not go away.

How come at random websites I keep on getting virus protection pop ups?

October 8, 2009

I have McAfee virus protection plus "super anti spyware" program. I do the scan everyday, delete temp. internet files(cookies, etc.), clean my hard drive, and defragment it. I still get pop ups eventhough the pop up blocker is on, plus when these ads for a virus protection come up, they block pictures. Not to mention, I have two trojans to get rid of which are called Winfixer and Vundo..anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Windows Vista Problems?

October 4, 2009

I’ve had Vista Home Basic for about a year now, never had any problems with it been going great. But last week the electric went so my computer wasnt shut down properly. Since then had a few problems….

Firstly sometimes when I turn my computer it keeps asking if I want to start in Safe Mode, or some of the other options… Whats that about?

Secondly, when I do get logged in, my time and date keeps changing EVERYTIME!!! And to something stupid… My date at the moment is 1601 lol

Thirdly, also when I log on I get a load of pop ups from windows saying a load of my programs are not working properly….

And finally… Firefox, keeps playing up. Whenever I try to get onto sites I always visit… Hotmail, Facebook, etc etc, even this site. Keeps asking me to get a security certificate.

Can anybody please help me with any of these problems? I’m pulling my hair out here lol 🙁

P.S – I’ve ran all my virus protection, Registry cleaner etc etc, and tryed system restore but nothing seems to work. Really don’t want to have to do system recovery 🙁

Thanks in advance!
