skymut 0 #3 July 14, 2004 Yep, what night said. Ad-aware has been a great tool. One of the best spyware/adware cleaners I've come across. Ad-aware Matt A well-informed person is somebody who has the same views and opinions as yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nws01 0 #9 July 20, 2004 I have downloaded adaware and MSN pop up block, but I still get one pop up called: To Install AT Games update, please click yes. I can not close this pop up at all. Anyone know how to get rid of this? It is annoying. Thanks.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhillyKev 0 #13 July 20, 2004 Run adaware that you downloaded. After it's done, run it again. Also download spybot from download.com and run that. Make sure you update both of them first.
