Help!

[!EEK]

SPIRAL LISTEN TO ME I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND manAGED TO GET IT FIXED!!!!


Well first of all I used to have pop ups but not from internet windows, from Windows messaging boxes (the same where you usually have to click on "OK", "YES, "CANCEl" "NO")

I'm sorry if everything isn't exactly the same because I have windows in french.

Note, this is for WIndows XP, I don't know what you must do on others

Go in Start, click on "run". Type in "msconfig". You get a small window with 6 toolbars. CLick on the fore last one (Services). Scroll down untill you see "Event diary" or something like that, in french its Journal des evenements.
Anyway, it's EVENT something.....and uncheck it! This should stop the pop ups you have. Again, I'm talking about adds that are in Windows prompt boxes.

The thing you have to uncheck is around (because I don't know what is installed on your cpu) N°19

Spiral read my post first. This thing has nothing to do with viruses or spywares. It's just a security exploit of windows. Service pack 2 should fix it but it really isn't necessary and I doubt it'll make your cpu go faster. By doing what I told you earlier you deactivate a stupid thing that windows implememnted and it's the cause of your pop ups, again, if they are in windows alert boxes

So you don't have your pop ups anymore?

yeah get spybot search and destroy, and also get LavaSoft Ad-Aware. You should update windows anyway. And if all that doesnt work, you can set the date back onyour computer. It's in System Tools, called System Restore.

And when you're told "YOu're the 50000th visitor, you won 10000$, please download the programme", close the window okay?

www.adaware.com, it is the best one i have tried, good reviews, and minimul space for its tasks on your processes.. the free one is great, the fee one is much better.
