Smileys!!!!

WARNING!!!!! These will cause all kinds of problems and install tons of spy ware all over your machine. I have to go around and fix the computers people screw up by installing these.



On one of our computers, we have pop-ups that will just come up on their own, without us clicking around on the internet. I know that means they've gotten a file installed somewhere, but how do I find it? I have already deleted a few things from "add/remove files" that showed up all the sudden, and I installed Spybot. Today I installed the Google Toolbar, but even if they stop new ones, it still seems there is something in the computer I need to find and get rid of. Anyone?

Ew, it has pop-ups too! >:(



I'm sorry, I didn't get any Popups....how is it that they are selective?



Even the pictures on that page are spyware!

Some spyware will wait a certain amount of time to get a feel for what web pages you use before they start hammering you with popups. Also, some software will wait a while before littering your desktop with those useless ads, hoping the average consumer never realizes it was that cool little smiley program that is doing that to you.

Ad Aware fixed it for me, it may not find all the spyware but if you find out of the blue popups annoying it's worth a try:

ps: use the scan feature, select everything it's has found and all will be fine :P



use it often - I run it once a week and find about 5 new "objects" a week. make sure to update the program as well.

Smileys? Gimme a break.

Here you can purchase Frownies for $5.00 apiece from the world's only authorized distributor.



LOL

I filled in the order form for one of their "clasic" frownies. This month they're on special for only $0.00 (quite a good deal I know). They wanted $20 to ship it to me here in the UK though.

Guess I cant have one :-(
