Hey SuperTrooper! Thanks for checking in.SuperTrooper wrote:Hey lorilovvv, how about an update for us?
I downloaded the Mozilla Firefox and I took your advice on the Lavasoft.com and downloaded the AdWare. But...I don't think I killed all the bad stuff only because I wasn't very sure on which programs to get rid of. How do I know? At any rate, the popups are not nearly as bad. I'm only getting a couple now.
I really appreciate it!

Thanks for your advice. I downloaded AdAware, and it found like 461 things! All these things made it past Spybot. My computer is running better now than it has in a while. Thanks!SuperTrooper wrote:Bob, you should try the other programs too. No one program gets them all. I think you would be amazed at the other crap on your system you aren't aware of that slow things down.Bob Roberts wrote:I swear by the Google toolbar! It is great! It has a popup blocker. I also use SpyBot to clean up spyware. I used to only use it once a month or so, but its getting to the point where I'm having to use it at least once a week if not more.

New Products & Services from Trend Micro Form Comprehensive Security Solution to Fight Spyware
Malicious spyware has the ability to monitor a user’s computing habits and private information, sending information to third parties without the user’s knowledge. To most organizations, spyware is not only an invasion of privacy, but it can also enable the theft of sensitive corporate data. Additionally, spyware increases support costs by causing system instability and decreases productivity due to computer downtime and unnecessary bandwidth usage.
Trend Micro has just announced a series of new products and services designed to combat spyware in the enterprise. Through a multi-layered approach, these offerings, designed for the Internet gateway, server, and desktop, combine with Trend Micro’s world-class antivirus capabilities to provide customers with a comprehensive, manageable, and highly scalable solution.
Anti-spyware Products
Trend Micro™ InterScan™ Web Security Suite 2.0 blocks spyware from entering the network at the gateway; the first line of defense in the enterprise. InterScan Web Security Suite can also block outbound communications attempting to disclose private information to third parties. When it detects spyware attempting to “phone home” with private information it initiates agent-less clean up* of the infected client to eradicate the spyware.
Trend Micro OfficeScan™ 7.0 (available in select markets) blocks and cleans unwanted spyware, adware, remote access tools, and hacking tools at the server and the desktop. Administrators can easily customize Trend Micro’s spyware detection and blocking based on their organizational security policies.
In addition, Trend Micro™ Damage Cleanup Services helps automate the clean up of spyware* and other malware on any server or desktop, whether an antivirus program is installed on them or not. Trend Micro Control Manager™ also coordinates Trend Micro’s products and services under a single Web-based management console.

How long should that Spybot thing take to download on my 56k phone modem? It's been downloading for about 10 minutes now and there is no progress bar so I don't really have any idea how far along it is.
(and thank you EVERYONE for your suggestions!)
