i keep gettin pop ups from these guys.. anyone know if its spyware, or if its the real thing?
Dr. Cfire
This is 99.99999999999999% likely that this is adware. Real updates dont advertise in pop-ups. Just stick with manufacturer upgrades.

sounds very much like adware. download adaware SE, or spysweep.

Thats a windows messenger popups, You can perminantly get rid of those, All you need to do is go into your control panel, Click on adminstrative tools, And then click on services, Scroll down the list til you find Messenger, double click it and then on the general tab, make sure the startup type is set to disabled and then under service status, click stop, then ok, And there you go, You got rid of that popup forever.
