popups!! grr!!

[Steel]

wtf?!?! now there is a NEW type of popup out there on the interent! its not adware on your computer nor do you have to visit a webpage to get any software, they just send it directly to your computer!! WTF! i wish i could blow up the computers of anyone that sends this crap!!

<sigh> I guess i gotta get teh firewall up again

[Jimster]

Damn dude sounds like you're loaded with spyware- I was until I put the firewall back up:o

[Steel]

its not spyware though! its nothing ON my HD that's cousing it. I ran AdAware like 3 times, and it still happens.

Ahhhhh Ha I know what it be (well I'm pretty sure).
It's thats fuckin' Windows Messanger crap right?
THE CURE!!!!!!
Just d/l this badboy and run it, it should completely remove it from your computer.

Tweak-XP, turn on ad blocking

here
very useful program I've blocked 736 pop ups so far. Great for Kazaa too.

Amish: that seemed to have done the trick! thanks man

On the same line of thought...
WTF is up with these companies thinking they can just hack yer computer... i wish i could blow them up!

[Amish_kid]

Well it the programs real use was for say a tech support person to send you messages for help also for other various types of things like that.
The way companies can get to you is your Ip when you either use a program like Kazaa or Explorer then they start to bombard you, pretty nifty when you think about it straight to the source, no worries because its completely legal if they keep the messages clean I guess. But Fuck 'em I'd love to upload a bagillion viruses to all the fuckin ad servers everywhere.
