Keep getting Internet explorer loading with a popup

I don't believe it. Turned my back and turned around and ie was up with a website 'cursor mania' or something. Looks like it is back!!!

Try this:

First, uninstall Cursor Mania from Add/Remove Programs

1) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel
2) Double click on Add/Remove Programs

3) Find "My Web Search (Cursor Mania)" in the list of installed programs and click on Change/Remove to uninstall it. You may also want to uninstall any of the following items associated with FunWebProducts.

• My Web Search (Smiley Central or FWP product as applicable)
• My Way Speedbar (Smiley Central or other FWP as applicable)
• My Way Speedbar (AOL and Yahoo Messenger) (beta users only)
• My Way Speedbar (Outlook, Outlook Express, and IncrediMail)
• Search Assistant - My Way

4) Reboot your Computer

Mines not returned yet, but they may be because i added the site to my blocked list or my scan could have removed it

At least sum1 is ok!

Thanks CPJames19. But none of those apps appear in my Add/Remove programs.

Use Firefox or Chrome.

Both are far superior browsers.

I use Chrome and I simply do not get pup-ups. Ever.

Have you ran a full scan of SuperAntiSpyware trickster?

Don't use this.

Use AVG free edition

I don't think that AVG & SAS do the same thing as such and periodically using on demand scanners such as SAS or Malwarebytes' over & above your regular anti-virus is always a good idea. (wouldn't personally use AVG though, I'd go with Avast)

Good luck with the cleaning, hope you get it sorted !
