Help with my computer

[Casurf1978 0]

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.

You'll have to download and install "Spybot". You'll be surprised at the amount of garbage this program will remove from your computer.

Google Toolbar eliminates pop-ups. It has worked great for me so far.

I just switched to Mozilla. Haven't had any problems since.

stop opening IE ! mozilla/netscape will help, and no need to download and install any popup blocking software.
