Yeah, I thonk it is something new to the board. It is a big pain in the *** & my pop-up stopper won't stop it. I guess it came with their so called "improvements" to the board.

So I downloaded that SpyHunter thing ... its currently scanning ... not even close to being done, some 30, 000 odd files so far ... it's found 1 memory, 73 registry, 25 cookies, and 7 files ... so when it's completed it's scan do I just hit "Start Remove", or are their select files that should stay? I'm guessing I should remove them all ...

Don't remove them all !

The problem with SpyHunter is that you have the ultimate decision in what you believe is spyware. Some files if you remove...will create instability in your system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Read the description of what SpyHunter found...do research on what it did find, and guide yourself that way.

Then again, I am not aware if the free version will allow you to remove said files....

Hey, at least it will tell you if you have any !

I currently use panicware for my pop-up stopper, provided by my ISP...it works wonders.

Apparently I have quite a few //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I searched my comp for the files on my HD and deleted a couple ... I can live with the rest //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for the help.

Adaware is great!

But it won't help the fact that this board has pop-up adds //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
