Pop ups how to get rid of ?

Ericson_2

I have got these two little icons that have arrived on my lower tool bar, they seem to be feeding pop ups to the screen as there are quite a few different ones appearing, I am running Blueyonder PC Guard through my Broadband connections and have everything blocked , or so I thought I did,

May be this has been covered before I don't know, but how do I get rid of these icons and their pop ups- as some of them are of a sexual nature and I have two daughters - embarassing

I'm actually fighting with them as I write this, every few mins

You got spyware/malware, download adaware, spy bot search and distory, windows defender, spyware blaster ect and see if they can indentify them!


Thanks Tom :-)

Download and run Spybot

and adaware

and run them both. Along with antivirus should sort the problem. If not also try hijack this

This side of a really major problem the above will sort

Browntoa

variant of the Malware in my Signature

To use Vundofix:
- Download the file and then double-click *VundoFix.exe* to run it.
- Put a check next to *Run VundoFix as a task.
- You will receive a message saying vundofix will close and re-open in a minute or less. Click *OK*
- When VundoFix re-opens, click the *Scan for Vundo* button.
- Once it's done scanning, click the *Remove Vundo* button.
- You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click *YES*
- Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
- When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click *OK*.
- Turn your computer back on.

Thanks this has all been a great help, Spybot cleared all but one, which is a constant advert for a programe for riddiing of computer viruses that pops up in the lower right hand corner, I am going to see what Vundofix can do.

Which rogue anti-spyware program is the popup suggesting you purchase to rid your machine of the infections?

Can you post a HijackThis log? (link in observer's post)

Last program that might be of use is CW Shredder. This gets a real nasty program.
