Help!! Annoying Pop-ups!!!
« on: August 15, 2003, 07:38:30 PM »
The bastages are in my computer!

I don't even have a browser open and every hour or so a pop-up comes up offering to sell me a way to get rid of pop-ups!!!

Do you believe these sum-biatches!

I purposely will not buy from any company that does crap like this!

Where's the RIAA Lawyers? I wanna sue someone!

Seriously, How do I get this crap off my cpu??

Thanks in advance. As always, this is the place for answers.

Let me guess, you have MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Kazaa and ICQ all loaded and running in the background. Disable all that junk on startup and you should be fine.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
