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

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. |

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. |

| 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?! |
