Casurf1978 0 #1 August 11, 2004 OK. I've done virus checks with Macafee 8.0 and Norton System Works. All clear of viruses, BUT I get an insane amount of pop ups. Not like two or three talking about 10+ when I open up IE. Not only thats, but Norton says I have adaware on my system and it cannot delete it nor quarintine the programs. My roomie says to reformat my HD, but he's not that computer savy. I have a firewall through Norton but its not up and running. Would the firewall prevent the pop ups? Do I have to reformatt my HD? How do I get rid of these adaware programs? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
