Pop Up 'virus' please help me

Please help i'm getting these pop up adds and i don't know how to remove them. Now i don't know if someone was playing internet games, downloading music, or checking out porn, but some how my computer's come under the impression that i like to be interrupted every 5 minutes by a random pop up add.

After alt-ctrl-del-ing i'm trying to figure out which process is causing this. I cancel the iexplore and every internet app i'm running cancels.

Any advice?

Or at least an address where i can mail something explosive in vengeance?

hi there... Download Ad-Aware for those nasty spy wares... and u could download Freesurfer MKII! just do a search for em at Google. Ad aware u run like some days in a week and it finds ur spy programs, and freesurfer makes ur life pop-up free!

It was porno, you dirty little freak. Let's all point and stare at the man with the sticky hands. For shame. For shame. Porno makes baby Jesus cry you know.

Yes, that's it. SOMEONE ;)

BTW: "Another ie popup-killer" is a good program that blocks pop-ups. This will allow SOMEONE to surf in peace.

Nice little freeware program that works.

This one will probably solve your problem :

Ad-aware is a powerful removal utility designed for Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / NT40 / 2000 / XP Home / XP Pro platforms that scans your system for components of known Spyware/Adware parasites, Malware, Browser hijackers, Scumware, Foistware, and allows you remove them efficiently and safely.

Big corporation such as Creative adds Spyware/Adware to their downlodable driver archives. That pretty much SUX! I think Creative have a deal with the Gator corporation because Gator is always installed on my computer when I reinstall the Soundblaster driver. AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS! :\

And WTF! GAIN/Gator is installed on my cumputer again! Maybe nVidia also have a deal with them.

Downloading adAware now!

I had Gator too, but it's easy to just go through My Computer to add/remove programs and delete it. Good thing it can be deleted that easily..

For all of you Kazaa users-

Delete Kazaa. Install Grokster. Run Ad-Aware to get rid of Gator. Tah-dah. :P

Yep, but I still found registry enteries for gator after uninstalling. :)
