Title: ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Post by: STFC_Chris on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 20:22:16
I'm being flooded with pop-ups, they wont stop, its driving me crazy.  :angry:

I have Norton internet security, which supposedly blocks adverts and pop-ups, but it is having no effect at all. Advice would be appreciated.

Try using Firefox as your internet browser.

The built in pop-up blocker is quite good and it is a lot less vulnerable to malicious spyware

Hitman Pro is what you want it's free and will download and run all of the spyware blasters.

It's a Dutch program but is easy to install and from thee it's all Englishhhh.

Thanks chaps, Ad-aware seems to have done the trick.  Will now test my dutch on this Hitman malarky. :?

Dazzza, how resource intensive is this hitman pro? How many spyware programs does it run? How long does a scan take?

Chars in advance
