How do I get rid of AdWare?

 

[D'Snowth]

Come guys, I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to get rid of this AdWare...pop ups, spams, freezes, and crashes galore!!!

Search for McAfee in Google and download their free virus protection, and then it should be able to do a search and block all that.

Otherwise, you might try to delete your cookies. Go under "Search Files" and type in "temporary internet" and then again as "*.tmp" and when it pulls those up, highlight the entire list and delete those. You'll have to sign back in to all your forums, though.

Download either Ad-aware or Spyboot Search & Destroy. And keep them updated. Both do a good job of searching your computer and deleting all cookies and adware if used regularly.

 

[D'Snowth]

Downloads are what gave me adware in the first place! And I delete my cookies regularly, but I'll try one of those, my computer's as slow as a snail now.

 

[MuppetsRule]

Both are very reputable.

 

[Andrew T]

Actually you can't go wrong using them both at once.

I use a good adware/spyware program by LavaSoft,it does a very good job.It's free for personal use.

 

[D'Snowth]

Yeah, but they make you pay to get rid of it!!! What a rip-off.

This AdWare's getting worse now...I'm starting to get porno pop-ups, and what if my mom uses the computer and sees this?

Is there a 100% free way to get rid of this thing? These pops are literally making my computer do things it's not supposed to do!
