    youd need to download a better spyware or adware remover.

    also nod32 should get rid of the virus.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    Best and easiest thing is to not use IE and opt for Firefox instead. I used to get the same problems and finally gave up on IE I have been on here since 1993 and whan IE came in I thought it was great but its got worse and worse over the years

    they are not proper pop ups
    just the title bars and a lot of them are for prize draws?

    I found nod32 to download but it says I have to uninstall all other virus progs which I am a bit reluctant to do. mainly because its such a hassel to reinstall with all the up dates!

    Follow the Spyware/Malware sticky at the top. No need to change your anti-virus but you probably need a bit more protection.
