I think this has more to do with spyware from pr0n-sites you've been visiting


Posted by Scorchio on Jul-21-2003 11:47:

OK Firstly I dont visit porn sites
secondly, shit youre right, I have a virus :\

scan with ad-aware

Amen to Ad-Aware. Then after you run that, make sure to run Norton Utitlites to fix up your registry. I ran it on my friends computer and he had over 900 objects...EEP!

I Have Ad-Aware for a long time, scanned and found no spyware, it was a virus called winpup32.exe
originated from the coockies in IE.

Most of those objects are cookies

I used to get them all the time when at mp3 sites but not anymore!

get pop-up killer or use modzilla to browse as it stops pop-ups.


Posted by Scorchio on Jul-21-2003 21:13:

Strange I deleted the cookies but the pop ups are still popping up!

These pop ups don`t come from TA because:

1. You say there is more than one pop up. TA only has on popup.
2. The TA popup only comes from time to time.
3. The ad partners are checked and selected. It might happen that one slips trough from time to time, but when found it is removed. The chance is zero to none that there would be more than one porn popup on TA.

Yeah youre right, the problem is I have a Trojan.Adclicker virus, I tried to remove it and scanned with Ad-Aware and showed no Spyware or Viruses in Norton, but the pop ups keep comming back and I cant remove them...
What to do?!

4. No fucking way I'm gonna format over this its too much work
5. theres gotta be a way to delete the virus




S2K

Hmm, from reading that page it would suggest that the popups aren't being caused by trojan.adclicker - Adclicker just auto opens banner ads.. not actually creates popups.. I'd try doing www.bitdefender.com online scan


Posted by Scorchio on Jul-22-2003 13:48:

Heh JP
The problem is that I dont want my parents thinking I'm entering porn sites and besides each time they pop its like 10 windows at once.
Its fucking annoying.

They are becuase each time I see them I get a download window of Winpup32.exe
which is the virus...


Posted by allstar on Jul-22-2003 13:52:

hmm, strange. you probably need to hack it out of the registry... a friend helped me get rid of a trojan that way before.. I'm not sure exactly how to do that myself though..

yea if u enter the name of the virus into google, i think it locates a site that belongs to systamec that takes u thru step by step how to remove it from the registry. Tricky shit tho, and u gotta be careful what u fuck with :S

i think it's your dad who secretly visits www.anal.com. he's the one to blame for the pop-ups


Posted by Scorchio on Jul-22-2003 15:42:
