|
|
Somehow some damn adware has got onto my computer.
Now and again it fires up using Internet Exporer to try to get me to download anti-virus and spyware blocking software. Sadly at times it also open up windows trying to get me to play poker or access porn
I have the lastest and uptodate Norton Protection Centre programme installed but when I run a full scan it does not pick anything up
Is there anything that I can do to locate this adware programme and kill it off
Any help would be very much appreciated! |

Norton's a total waste of time, get AVG it's free , go to google & get version 7.5 from grisoft's site.

I also run Ad-Aware SE Personal inconjunction with anti virus software, specifically to avoid the problem you are encountering. It works; does smart scans and updates regularly and it's free. |
