HELP please

[gravity]

I downloaded the spywareblaster program a few days ago and ever since have been getting popups every few minutes saying that my harddrive is vulnerable to hackers and I need to go to endads.com to fix it. I know it's an ad that I've somehow downloaded, but I can't find it with adaware, spywareblaster, or norton. I'm assuming it came with the spywareblaster because it started happening as soon as I d/l the prog.

How can I get rid of the irritating popups? If it's some kind of money generating thing for WS, please get rid of it.

Hi gravity,

Take a look here first: How to get rid of Messenger spam (http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=11&t=1920&s=4fdab12e571554d03d381331db8ac680)

If those are not the ones you are receiving;
could you post your HijackThis log (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/)
Download, Unzip and run HijackThis, Then click Scan > Save log, save the log as a .txt file and copy & paste its content into your next post.
Don´t fix anything yet. Most of what it finds is harmless.

Regards,

Pieter

I d/l the shootthemessenger program and it appears to have solved the problem. I just got my pc and did not know about the windows messenger. How is microsoft successful when all their programs suck?

Thanks very much for your help.

Hi gravity,

Let's say it's not the software, but the default settings that are inadequate. ;)

Glad we could help,

>How is microsoft successful when all their programs suck?
Exactly for that reason: millions of people using that same software to discuss it, test it, and talk more about it.
If it's just good you hear nobody!
How much will MS gain from the phonecompanies for our connectiontime and data traffic for all that?
They all make money from our discomfort!
