Hello again, I am experiencing pop-up issues from the Internet Explorer when I don't even use it. I use Mozilla Firefox and I keep getting pop-ups from IE and occasionally some pop-up tabs from Firefox. These pop-ups are usually telling me that my system is infected with spyware and trojans and offering various different programs to delete them.

So, I tried using programs such as Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware (by Lavasoft) to get rid of these problems. I also went on Firefox and IE and deleted all my cookies. After all that, I'm still getting pop-ups for some reason.

Then today, my friend introduced me to programs called Crap Cleaner and No-Script. After installing those programs and configuring them, I don't get IE pop-ups any more, but I still get those occasional Firefox pop-up tabs.

Is there any way to completely get rid of them and prevent more pop-ups, or should I format my hard drive and start fresh?

Thanks for your concern.

Hi:

Please go to the Malware section of this forum and follow the instructions at the top. Especially the Click Here link.

Please be patient as the "Malware Forum" is a very busy place and a two or three day wait is not unusual.
