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.
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.
2 things... get firewall get popup blocker (I use the google taskbar) or mozilla firefox.

Wulf, yoink the Internet cable, start up in safe mode and rescan again
And use anything that isn't IE. I use Firefox, cause its nice and fast for me. And I'm too lazy to dl more stuff

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...
