I have tried everything to get rid of certain ad popups.


Adaware and Skybot dont seem to get rid of them.


I have reloaded Windows twice in 24 hours and am getting the same specific ad popups immediately.


Are they possibly related to this site?


How can i get rid of them?


They advise me to go to Fix.it.com or something.


Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of them? Computer settings??


Thanx in advance.

There were things in sp2 to stop pop ups.

Get the Google tool bar.
