Something keeps showing up on my computer about "cleaning out all adult
sites you have visited". Supposedly,they can install cookies in my computer
and track sites I've visited. A pretty neat trick, since I don't visit any adult
sites!! To top it off, I couldn't get rid of the "darn" ad! I kept clicking
it off and it would show up again! Oh, and check this out: supposedly, I
have visited 948 adult sites!!! Who are these idiots and where do they
come up with this BS?!?!

Sorry for the rant, but I'm just so disgusted with these people!

what gall! 948? they know dern well you hit 1000 last week!

our business computer got hit with something like that after one of the employees went to a reverse directy type of site. ( had written down a phone number on the message pad but no name ) ( plus that computer tracks all web sites it goes to...so it wasn't from going to a naughty site)

we lucked out that running adaware caught it and removed it.

is it a pop up while you are online braindrain? if so, clean out your cookies...toss the choccy ones my way..clear out the temp folders and run whatever program you use to get rid of this junk...adaware...spybot...
add the url of the pop up web site to your blocked list of sites if you are using IE.

hope this helps.

Have you been monkeying around with my computer?? It's not a popup,
it's the kind that asks you if you want to open the file or save it to your
computer. It wouldn't let me cancel, either. It took me several tries
before I could get it off of my screen. Is this the same as spyware?
Or is that something else altogether?

You can have the choccy cookies (except for the chocolate chip
cookies-they're mine! )

it sounds like it. have you run any of the spyware detection programs?

Not yet, because I wasn't sure if I needed to or not. I thought I should
check here first. Thanks!

good luck on getting rid of it. and really....i swear i haven't messed with your computer.
