Answer» I had a lot of ad/spyware downloaded just recently and have been able to remove everything with Spybot and Adware but I have still have a pop-up from pegasusstudio.com coming up. It interrupts what I am doing online and then begins to install adware, TOOLBARS, you name it. I have not been able to find any info on it.
Any suggestions? Anyone run across this before?
Thanks!SET Adaware SE or Spybot S&D to run at START up.I have actually run both of those at startup. And it seems to remove it, however it sleeps somewhere and returns after a few times online. (dial-up) Those are two piecees of software I use religiously and have worked for all ELSE. This seems to be a parasite or something similar.
Thanks for your reply.I suggest you scan for viruses/trojans if you have not yet done so.
You may wish to install a popup blocker or use Adaware Adwatch. (ASSUMING you have got a registered version) to detect and block registry changes that are caused by Spyware.
Spy Sweeper is also a very good program to remove spyware.
Using an alternate browser such as Mozilla Firefox is a very good idea as well.http://www.rcmillar.netfirms.com/subpages/Links.htm#Spyware_
