Getting Rid of Viruses and Those Annoying Popup Ads
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Well it happened. Somehow my computer got infected with a virus! I was getting those random popup ads every couple of minutes. None of my existing antivirus software worked! I’d delete the “infected” files and a few moments later the popup ads would resume. I tried everything including removing all software on my computer that I did not use/know in my Add/Remove Software and that didn’t work either. I tried various free online virus scans/fixes with no luck but finally I found the answer.
This is a software I highly recommend if you have any type of virus. This software found ones that my other ones couldn’t find! I was really impressed with this FREE tool! I know I sound like an ad….but I just wanted to share with others who somehow get infected with anything too. I’ll save you the trouble, just download:
Their slogan is “Removes ALL the Spyware, NOT just the Easy ones!”. I have to wholeheartedly agree with this.

Yeah, I use them too, they are really quite outstanding. However, occasionally you will get ones that just go dormant for a while, and comeback, or will find a way to bypass superantispywhere, and then you have to get into the nitty-gritty. I know computers better than anyone, and it once took me 3 weeks to get rid of some invasive spyware. Let me know if you see a resurgence and I’ll recommend some programs.

1) Switch to Firefox, this will remove 99% of your spyware problems. IE is full with security holes.
2) Switch to 3rd party firewall, I’m using Comodo firewall, its free!
3) Did I mention to switch to Firefox? Seriously, this is important!

hi..
i was wondering how i can get rid of this virus/trojan that my spybot/adware cannot remove.
whatever browser i used, firefox or IE etc, sometimes multiple popups appear and they are often from “fling.com” or some porno.
whenever i start up the computer, it will show that some process failed to run, something with win32.
i have tried everything…and it seems to keep coming back. please help me!!!
