Hi all,
My husband is a big gamer and downloads maps, so I have a feeling we picked
up something when downloading a map. This *only* happens with IE, I always
use Mozilla Firefox. Anyway when trying to surf on IE, it freezes and pulls
up a pop-up window with an advertisement. I downloaded Trend Microvirus
Pc-cillin 2006 to evaluate for 30 days, it's scanned and deleted spyware,
but it's still happening.
Would Ad-Aware catch something like that? Anyone having this similar
problem? I haven't downloaded Ad-Aware yet, I'm just afraid it's not going
to do anything...Thanks in advance!!

Download, install, update and run all of these:

Adaware
SpywareBlaster
Spybot Search and Destroy
Ewido
Windows Defender Beta 2

To be sure you're getting a "safe" copy, download them from www.download.com

When I was a child, I remember my Mom telling me, "Son, when you grow
up, you can marry any girl you please." When I became a young man, I
learned the sad fact was that I could not please any of them.

They are all free and with all of them installed give you some of the best
protection available.
