    Unhappy A Virus?

    I'm not too sure how but i somehow managd to do download some sort of spyware thats now annoyingly starting to give me popups...
    As soon as i noticed I downloaded virus definitons etc from Norton and instantly ran a full computer scan, ofcourse it showed up with 1 virus and it was removed..

    So i thought? I still seem to be getting these popups *theres one now* "/

    Can anyone help?

    EDIT: I forgot to add, i obviously re-scanned my laptop straight after it was removed and there were no viruses etc detected.

    Do you have a pop up blocker?
    When you send your applications into me they will be read by the manager/s and you will be contacted by them, not me.

    Are they the same pop ups as before? Hmm, use adaware to scan for adware as it is better than norton at fixing adware and spyware problems.

    Norton is pretty good at it. And he says he found the problem and got rid of it.

    I think it's just disabled his popup blocker.

    It's best to scan with another piece of software then...

    Stinger maybe?

    I think there is a list of free sites in this forum on a stickied thread

    First, download windows defender, a free anti-spyware program from microsoft which lets you scan, quick scan, and see what is running on your computer, allows you to stop programs running on your computer, and what is displaying at startup, and alot of other features. Get it from microsoft.com, but you can only download this if you have a licensed copy of Windows.

    If that doesn't work, try some of the other free spyware scans that Habbo recommends:
