Spyware Is Killing Me

Today i re installed win xp and from the start from the first min with new win xp i get msgs i dont know from where but i know it is spyware. They come to my desktop and if i leave my computer for an 1hourn and come back i will see more then 10 spyware which they tell me that my computer is infected with spyware. one of the adds i clicked on it the one that told me your computer is infected. but nothing happened i have to pay to remove them :angry: i tried some spyware remover and ad-aware 6.0 but still they come out again need help plz

I get those messages sometimes when I go to certain website,It's like A warning popup.

I 'm using spybot now ,don't have too many probs,still get some of those messages sometimes but not to bad-still have some tweeking to do with the program.

The other popular one was a messenger popup crap,this use to pop up ever 5 minutes when I was playing Diablo 2 online and kicked me off the server.This sort of shit should be against the law,it would really fuckin piss me off.
I think I disabled this through my control panel somehow,not sure it's been awhile.

u didnt read his post did ya ?
cause he has already tried that <_<


try hijack this as well

Fn A. That&#39;s the internal messenger service. Thats been abused by spammers. Look around & get xp-antispy (freeware). :lol:

These will help you...i personally use the second one B)

here is xp antispy:

On your desktop right click on "my computer" then select "manage" then "services and applications" then "services" then scroll down to "messenger" and double click on it and in "startup type" select disabled and ok it, this will turn off the irritating pop-up windows, also download the freeware version of Lavasofts "ad-aware" Here and install, update and run it to get rid of spyware etc ;)

edit....just seen you have already got adaware :blink:

do what boyzee said to do and that will stop those messenger popups from coming up. but i recomend you download a firewall such as sygate or zonealarm, if you have a proper firewall those messages would never come up in the first place. and also get a good antivirus program if you dont already have one&#33;

thanx guys i will try all the moves now thanx again

Red, the suggestions that the guys gave you should keep you safe
sometimes these alerts, or warnings are nothing more than
popup adds.
a really good blocker should be added to your "defences"
a good example is a free one that you can get from google&#39;s toolbar :rolleyes:

i never had those pop-up problems when i had messenger enabled :blink:

Disabling the Windows XP messenger service described above is a must.

A good firewall is a gimmee.

Running Adaware and Spybot (weekly)with the most current updates is wise.

While running "Hijack This" will help identify problems after the fact, I recommend Browser Hijacker Blaster. It will identify hijack attempts as they occur and it&#39;s free. (you can get it here)
