Is anyone else getting bombared with these "WhenU Save" pop-ups lately? They're driving me crazy, and besides they shouldn't be popping up, for I have pop-up blocker, and it's switched on! The annoying thing too, these pop-ups keep saying "These are automated pop-ups that have been installed on your PC". Well obviously not, because I've looked through my entire hard-drive, and there's no file named "WhenU Save". Is anyone else getting these annoyinh pop-ups?

Hmm. Try and get a free version of Ad Aware online, it gets rid of stuff like that.
And don't use interneet explorer. Get a different browser. i use firefox myself and it works well (it blocks all popups automatically).

Baah, it all depends on whether or not you protect from the bombardment of garbage on the Internet. I use the Firefox browser and in conjunction with Internet Security, I haven't gotten a single unwanted pop-up window, piece of spyware, or virus in three years.anythingmuppet said:

Yeah, it all depends on your securrity, like jedix said. But one time my friend wanted to be so secure he put all this free antivirus and firewall software on his computer so badly he couldnt even get online! The antivirus software said that the firewall was blocking the connection and he tried to find the software so he could delete it but he couldnt and had to do a system restore...

I have that capability, too. [Norton] Internet Security allows you to manually configure what programs can be granted Internet access so that if you have some kind of adware running, you can cut off its access and then successfully destroy it since I've fixed peoples' machines where their adware would simply respawn itself if certain aspects of it were deleted through SpybotS&D od AdAware. Surprisingly, it is pretty easy to go back and reset access privileges in IS in the case of accidental blocking.
