Question Pop Up Windows

Has anyone else been getting pop up ads while surfing evolutionm.net?? For the past couple of days now, I've been getting pop up ads while I'm reading thru the forum.

Must be spyware that you have acquired from some program. Particularly Kazaa.

still is probably spyware. try and download ad-aware from www.lavasoft.com ..the download should be somewhere. and watch out whihc files you delete when you run the scan..some of them are needed to run kazaa.

another possibility is you might have this thing called "SaveNow" or some other program..theyre designed to give you pop-ups. totally sucks

i use a program called free surfer it works great at killing pop-ups! But only from IE it would not be able to help against Kazaa!

And that's actually http://www.lavasoft.nu/ instead of www.lavasoft.com

EDIT: I thought it was lavasoft.com but it was lavasoft.nu.
No matter if Kazaa is ON or OFF the spyware is integrated into your registry, therefore causing unneeded advertisements, thus Pop-Ups. Lavasoft's Ad-Aware should clean those annoying Ads up. Whenever I have Pop-Ups I run that bad boy up and bam! No more of those annoying ads.

No popup problems, but I use Mozilla, so I never get unrequested popups.

if you dont want to bother uninstalling kazaa to get kazaalite, you can go to www.kazaalite.com and get their dummy file. After running ad-aware (www.lavasoft.nu) delete the kazaa spyware and replace it with the dummy file. Kazaa thinks the spyware is running but it really isn't.
