Sangiro doesn't advertise with pop-ups, they have to be coming from another program you're running. What else have you installed lately?

Check the title bar of the pop-ups. If they all say "Save Now", then let us know. There's a way to remove that spam-ware from your system, but it's hard. You will get them on other web sites as well.

I get a lot of Save Now pop-ups. Will adware get rid of this?

hmmm,nothing running as far as I know.But then again,these things are still a mystery to me.

-Just minimized this screen and there is a little Kazaa icon in the corner of my screen.Thats probably it.

with kazaa lite, you get the box at the start asking to download the latest version. don't - cos it "upgrades" it to normal kazaa

Adaware did not remove SaveNow for me. It is one sneaky piece of shit spamware program. They claim you can remove it from the programs (WhenU or SaveNow), but this is a lie.

Go here, read the *entire* page, and follow the instructions for manual removal. You have to follow them carefully.

Thank you. I'll try this when I get home. These pop-ups are more than annoying.

A GREAT site that can scan (through your browser) for bull#%^ like this is http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/.

Forgot to mention, the site will also give details on how to remove anything it finds. I have used this in the past with much success.

Use Mozilla. I started using it months ago, and I've never had to look at a pop-up since then. (You will need to turn off pop-ups in its preference menu; For some silly reason they are enabled by default.)

Another vote for Mozilla....it's easy to install, VERY user friendly, and seems to work pretty damn flawlessly. I went to it after my recent debacle with IE 6.0. Never going back to that crap!!!!
