ladyskydiver 0 #4 April 28, 2004 There are a couple of software packages that might help. One is SpyBot and the other is Ad-Aware. You'd be amazed at how much spyware is on your machine. Good luck getting it cleared up. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

christelsabine 1 #6 April 29, 2004 Many thanks to you and @ ladyskydiver for helpful informations. Ad-Aware is downloaded now to any PC available around me christel dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christelsabine 1 #7 May 5, 2004 I've got to ask again, as these ad's still occur, even in smaller quantities. But now in another quality: I am complete rejected from your web site. "An error occured while directing (direction) to dropzone.com" After this, I tried about 5 times to enter again the DZ.com site, impossible. Access denied ! For a second I so afraid, my access was denied due to my big mouth from time to time Cannot imagine this. And: All porn ad's are in English. Sorry to say, it never happens on any other site I visit. What might it be? My computer specialist will be here within next hour for checking, but have to ask you in advance. Do you have any advise on that? christel dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #8 May 6, 2004 Run Ad-aware again. Make sure to check the button that says "check for updates now", before you hit "start". Also, do you have an anti-virus program installed? Probably a good time to do a scan. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christelsabine 1 #9 May 6, 2004 Yes, Norton is installed.... Will try again an Ad-aware... Thxs for reply. This really is frustrating, as yesterday evening, 2nd time our office computer specialist checked my private computer: He found nothing!! My private computer is equipped with the complete range of defense software. I will give it another trial. dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
