[Edit] Just properly read the first post, and noticed you already HAVE SpyBot, so not worth me suggesting you download that! :D

Also, if you're using an NT-based version of Windows (ie. NT, 2000, XP), then disable the Windows Messenger Service, as you're probably getting some popups through that if it's enabled.

I'd recommend using BBS Spy ware / Ad ware remover along with uninstalling shite like Kazza and any other programs that have ad ware.

Try deleting your Internet cookies an all as some of these files could have ad ware / spy ware embedded that uses an exploit within Internet Explorer causing pop-up’s.

I'm having alot of trouble with my computer at the moment. I have loads of pop-ups, and i have had an online-virus check and it tells me i have loads of viruses. I downloaded 'Spybot Search & Destroy' for the spyware, but i'm really sick of the pop-ups. And now, my OS is playin up, keep gettin error messages from 'windows file 32' saying file cannot be opened of is missing. Can anybody help me with advice of what programs to get and links for them? Also has anybody got Norton Anti-virus 2004? Thanks alot:thumbs:
