Solve : ive tried every program but cant get rid of pop up?

Answer»

trend micro house call ,avg , ms anti spy , etrust, spbot, xoftspy and more any suggestion
 attach screen shot with running procces list  thanksWhy don't you start using Firefox instead?

Anyway, I've recently had spyware / pop-up problems and I downloaded and ran (at the same time, eventually, as I got frustrated when it wasn't working when I ran each one individually):

Ewido
Lavasoft Ad-Aware
Spybot Search & Destroy
CCleaner
A-Squared
AVG Anti-Virus (Free Edition)
Windows Defender

It will take longer running them at the same time, but it worked for me. After everything has finished, delete anything in quarrantine. You COULD, after, post up a HijackThis logfile for the experts here to look at.

Please Note: Before, make sure your hidden files are showing and that your system restore is turned off (Right Click My Computer >> Properties >> System Resotre >> Check Off)

After you've ran all these, restart your computer in Safe Mode and re-run AVG Anti-Virus.

To make it easier, Before you go to bed, run all these, then turn your screen off - that way, they all get to run, but it doesn't disturb you. (I only did this because my computer is in my room).

Hope it helps!

OllyFormat and reinstall. The ULTIMATE solution!  Using Firefox is not a solution!!!

Oh, well after I started using Firefox, I didn't have anymore pop-up trouble, so it seemed to be Firefox that prevented the pop-ups.Firefox didn't stop the popups; it just doesn't respond to them. The infections are still present.well firefox would have blocked the adware in the first place its so much betterSoviet Genius

 All that has been achieved is not seeing the pop-ups .......the problem still remains.  It's LIKE a leak in your roof  ....... as long as you keep emptying the bucket catching the water ......the floor stays dry ......But the roof still has a hole in it .......

dl65  A nice analogy!
That hole is probably allowing in all other sorts of nasties besides a bit of rain!
If users are so selfish and lazy that they can't be bothered with security, then they should not be allowed access to any public networks.
When they're caught trafficking kiddie porn or warez or running spambots etc, I really do hope that any court will not accept IGNORANCE as a defence and that they impose maximum sentences.
