Pop-ups

although, my dad scanned my comp and found 200 trojans/spyware (yes 200) iv been getting alot of pop ups, would that be the spyware or is this all from wc3sear? becuase most of the pop ups i get are when i go onto this site.
Dont worry, i cleaned my comp. but yet it still keeps opening new windows to other sites and opening weird music files. So i went on FF and i foud that someone was trying to set my homepage to a site full of digits and numbers from what i guess means they are trying to give me malicous code. But about 75% of pop ups appear from this site.

I never got any popup on this site. Must be your comp ^_^

Iv gotta say, its your computer.

Even though I get alot of Viruses and all that rubbish (Once I got ~890 in 3 days :x )

Try changing your Browser or get a pop up blocker?

Use Opera, blocks almost all popups. And scan your computer with Ad-aware or something.

yes, i have a pop up blocker, zone pro alarm, and iv got 2 virus scanners and 3 adware killers or somethin.
and when i use firefox, it slows down and images dont show. and i dont trust it anymore even if it does hide the pop ups.

I tried Firefox and it was laggy, really Opera is best browser from the three.
IE is like dog, Firefox is like wolf, Opera is like werewolf :D

i found my prob..evil kazaa. i installed it and it installed p2p, i didnt know wat it was and is asked for net access and i said....YES.
kazaa was also a virus, nice soings though. anyway, p2p was actually a....dum dum duuum! a TROJAN DOWNLOADER! i was like EVIL ...and i luaghed my head off..
anyway it was the cuase of all the trojans and all. put i wiped everything, even msn...abit..to fix the reg cuz trojan attacked it...and i still get pop ups..and even as i go on this site windows media player opens a song. and 3 windows pop up.
i mean thats weird. i must have missed one more adware...
