Computer question?

How can i get a pop up blocker for free on my computer, it says i have malware/spyware? What is this and how can i fix it?

Computer question?computer security

A popup blocker might only mask a real problem.

You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search %26 Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.

These are cleanup tools. Ad-aware cleans files, and SpyBot cleans the registry

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Computer question?free spyware remobal

first of all download fire fox web browser, it is the safest on the market...

install it and set it up to delete cookies, history, and private data, it stops all pop up's and has a fire wall to

click on the link below
download Internet Explorer 7 from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...

Once that is loaded, it has a built in pop-up blocker that you can just turn on by doing:

tools/Pop-up Blocker/Turn on pop-up blocker.
If you are using IE you already have a pop up blocker. Click on Tools and turn it on.

Now that will not clean up your computer. To do that you should run the following programs

Before I grab limewire.exe off of download.com, is there anything else I should consider?

I searched for "download limewire" on google and many different sites offer it.

What is all this on my SPYBOT and this SPYWAREBOT???

I downloaded this free program thinking it was feee to scan for spyware. I scanned with thit and it pulled up things that looks like a scam just to buy this program...as when it finished scanning it sayed I have 3800 items that needed to be tended to and then it sayed I had to register and buy the program to delete these items???? Then I found the SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY and it found a lot of things on registry and other things. Then it says before setup to make backup of registry keys in case something goes wrong when scanning and deleted infections. Is all this normal and safe???? I enclosed a couple of links which I posted some screenshots of some results I got. I would like som advice please.

Superantispyware is said to remove IE Defender:

But if by some chance Super doesn't work for you, then run this removal procedure:

Remove the software that you installed!! It's not legit, I think it is a virus too, so uninstall it now. Try going to www.download.com and download the trial version of Norton Antivirus 2007. It will help and temporarily protect your computer. And also don't click on those pop ups when they ask or tell you to install things. Good luck!
Try http://www.stopannoyingpopup.com

Is Smiley Central/My Web Search a virus?

Does this program (free smileys and cursors and such) contain any malware, spyware, or viruses?

Is Smiley Central/My Web Search a virus?downloads

Smiley Central is an Internet Explorer plugin that allows you to add numerous smiley faces to your email or instant messages. It is part of the Fun Web Products suite of utilities such as Cursor Mania, My Mail Stationary, My Mail Signature, PopSwatter, Popular Screensavers, and the My Way website portal.

Although none of these products claim to be spyware, they do slow your computer down. All of the products use cookies to track usage, although they claim not to use cookies or anything else to track personally identifiable information. That being said, I would still recommend uninstalling the SmileyCentral software and other Fun Web Products if you feel your computer runs better without them. They are found by many spyware removal tools such as Spybot Search and Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, although they are deemed spyware safe by Aluria Software who created a Spyware SAFE Certification.

Hi,

Actually its a adware program that gives pop up advertisements.

so installing this is not much recommended.

Look at this Link and see what Antivirus companies think about this Websearch :

I am 10 and just figured out that no ,it does not.The "virus" is just a program that you have to run.That's all.

I keep getting this error when using google. Anyone know what it means?ducati

some spyware/worms/viruses use search terms on google to find new vulnerable computers to attack, by using the power of google's search engine to locate servers running versions of known insecure software such as web servers, bulletin board systems etc that can be exploited to gain full access to the computers (ie. hack them).

examples of using google to return information leaked by poor configuration of the servers on the internet and more information about what it is, can be seen here:
