I keep getting a messenger service pop-up from CWWSOFT which keeps telling me that theier company offers 200-600 per week for work.
I can't seem to get rid of it. I think it is to do with some casino that i must have downloaded ages ago
I have tried Ad-aware and spy-sweeper but it hasn't got rid of it.
Can you help?

    If it's 'messenger service' pop-ups, this will shut them off for you - no install required and downloads in seconds

    if you run messenger and go into 'tools' 'options' 'privacy' you can put in people you don't want to get messages from and those who you do .

    "Casino" that you didn't ask for rings alarm bells with me cos when I've had trojans etc., casino is one of the websites that just appear from nowhere.

    Check FAQ's "Internet Security", there's a lot of info and links there. What antivirus, firewall, and anti adware etc. programmes are you using?
