I have several recurring problems.
one continuous pop up is an ad for this:
Live safety center
get full service for your pc
windows live safety center is a new, free service designed to help ensure the health of your pc
-check for and remove viruses
-learn about threats
-improve your pc's performanc
-get rid of junk on your hard disk
then I also get a semi official windows looking pop up saying:
Critical system error
please read this message carefully.
your pc is infected by spyware. spyware and other unwanted software refers to programs that perform certain tasks on your computer, typically without your consent. this can include installing pop up advertising or collecting your personal information. anti-spyware tools can only help rid your computer of spyware
click "ok" to get software and special offers on antivirus software
(when you click ok you are taken to this site
http://www.pesttrap.com/?advid=270)
Next there is a yellow caution symbol in the system tray when you click on it it takes you to
http://www.thespyguard.com/?aff=231
then I get random pop ups for "adult friend finder.com" and monaco gold casino.
I followed the instructions regarding spy bot s and d and ad aware, and I think some of these problems aren't occuring anymore, or at least haven't happened yet...
