Pop-ups

[Chris(tmas)]

Uh, this may sound strange, but when i enter LPA i get pop-ups from alot of sites. And i heard that you guys dont have any pop-ups so you dont get paid.

And i dont have any other sites on right now.



:wth:

You have adware/spyware on your computer. It is not the LPA.

Go to www.lavasoft.de (http://www.lavasoft.de) and download Ad-aware, then scan your PC.

[Chris(tmas)]

I have that program. And i got 45 thingy's, and i deleted all of them, but it still gives me pop-ups and securitywarnings :(

[Mark]

Yeah, Adware can be really hard to get rid of, even with Ad-Aware's help. If it gets really bad, back up everything and format.

[Anthony.]

Also try Spybot S&D @ security.kolla.de

The popups might also come from the site you were on before.

I have one of the virusses. Its a Trojan :angry:

formating like that is the worst thing ever :angry:


but its just part of the hassle of owning a computer :(

sorry you got that adware on you're pc chris :mellow:

woah, that sux that u have a trojan. 3 things u can do if you get adware/spyware is to run a virus program, an ad program, and delete anything from your program list (settings, control panel, Add or remove programs) that u know gives u popups, etc.

I reformatted and it was great. My computer is literally 10 times faster, I'd rather deal with the sacrafice of losing my files than dealing with a slow and annoying computer.

Why not backup the important files (mp3s, images etc.) ?

I have the same problem with ad-ware and a ton of other crap that continues to slow down and #### up my computer. I've backed up the files i want onto disc, can someone tell me how to go about formatting my pc? The last time i did it, i used two PC's and transfered the files i want onto the other PC's hard-drive, i dont have two this time around, so can someone tell me how to go about formatting my computer. Thanks.

Ok, here we go.

First of all, i'm not responsible if your computer gets burnt during the process, it's your responsibility :lol:

So, open your PC. Before you see the "Windows" screen, press F8 on your keyboard. Out of the choices given, choose the "Command prompt only" one. You're now on DOS prompt. Make you you only see a C:/>, and type "format c:", if c: is your hard drive letter. Press Y if you need to confirm the format, and wait. Voilá! You're with a new PC now.

After you format, go to the BIOS by pressign delete when the PC turns on. Look for a "boot sequence" list, and make "CD drive" or something first in the list. Then turn on the PC with the Windows CD in the CD drive and you're done.
