          Download Lavasoft Adaware and run it on your system.

              Figured someone would come along and say that

              Benfica- Why would you reccomend a pop up blocker in this situation? (makes no sense to me...coughPWcough)

                  Yeah don't PW
                  New computers usually come with some anti virus program, make sure its updated and scan your computer. If that doesn't work try ad aware.

                          If you knew someone was going to say it, why did you wait until someone did? Or did you try and it diddnt work?

                          Oh, and sneakyhacker420, that post was really useful, I think it changed my life. Thank you for posting it.

                                          also, try spybot - search and destroy. I use that in combination with ad-aware. works pretty well.

                                                  And someone needs to sue the makers of this kind of software. You go to a website, click "No" on every popup, and suddenly theres 5 new programs running on your computer, all of which say you have to download the uninstaller...

                                                  Argh. Anyways yes adaware will stop it. Make sure you update also.
