Get yourself a nice spy/aware killer like Ad-Aware, or Spybot Search & Destroy.

And right click on the toolbar and you can remove or add what you like. :)

you gotta get spybot s&d, go to webattack.com and look for it or google
(also look in tools>internet options>settings>view objects for said browser helpers)

yep, its was soon after I joined this board, you know 2-3 hunderd is not uncommon for someone who has never ran it and surfs the net

[fkdup74]

yeah, my first time running it was kinda shocking, but not that bad if i remember right (maybe 75-100)

[DWk]

i had like 815 or something like that, specially when i used kazaa.....thx adaware for gettin rid of it.... :)

[razorsharp013]

The first time I ran it I had 113. :rolleyes:

aola, along with spybot sd and adawre, I use hijackthis Link (http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/) , Forum to post your log (http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showforum=44)

I had that damn myfastaccess installed at one point, what a pain in the ass to get rid of.

Good luck

moral of anyone reading this, be very careful of those gray boxes that ask you to install shit, and you really should run ad aware or s&s at least once a week

[muchspl2]

I just x out of them, all you need, as long as you don't hit ok :lol:

[aola]

thanks im downloading adaware right now....i usualy get thsoe stupid toolbars when i go to search for cerials for software and then they have that popup and i accidentally click yes (habit) and they get installed :angry:

btw is it possible to get google pop up blocker on Opera


i had 373

[muchspl2]

doesn't need it, besides google tool bar has spy ware if you have page rank on, witch most do, ad muncher seems to be the best, but if your still using ie you should get a different browser, lots of exploit's in ie
http://www.myie2.com is a good choice if you like ie

[DWk]

BrowserPal Popup Blocker (http://www.browserpal.com)

best in my opinion...yea its free

IMO it is the best, but you either gotta shell out the $25-30 they ask for registration
or work with a keygen, and i found out the hard way they scan em :(

[DWk]

yea browserpal is free....all you gotta do is tell 4 of ur friends about it :)

Yeah, remember the security box that asks if you want to install is windows so clicking close or the x is safe as you wont be tricked, its just windows doesn't know what it is which is going to be installed so asks, no need to end task.

Oh, and thanks for software recommendtions, I'll try them. :)
