How can i get rid of Adware?

You are infected with spyware if:

* You see too much pop-up advertisements.

* Your browser has toolbars that you haven't installed.

* Your homepage has changed (and you can't change it back).

* Other settings have changed without your permission.

* Your computer is slow.

To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you can use an antispyware or even more.

You can download a antispyware software. There are 10 good anti-spywares.

here is the reviews: http://toptenantispyware.com/

You can download one and scan your system.

All are safe and can be trusted.

You need a battery of programs running in a orchestrated way !

An affirmation to start: 1) NEVER run an online scan when you are already infested - It's like poking a hole in your already weakened protection to let in more Malware, do NOT copy your documents elsewhere as this will only spread the Malware, do NOT use your Email until this is cleaned and DO NOT REFORMAT unless it is your last resort.

Now for the main part: Malware is one of the worst kind of viral infection, deeply rooting itself in your system (some even hide in your router's firmware). Virus scanners (which are mostly blind to it) and the Restore Point Utility are not good things to use against such invasion for this reason alone.

So DON'T take chances with it !!!

Get the programs I listed from another computer (Internet Café, Public Library or friend's computer) onto a USB stick as Malware blocks you from downloading protection. A word of caution, be sure to read all programs help files completely before using them. If you still cannot use MBAM, rename it Alteregobytes to confuse the Malware (but be sure to keep the .exe extension on it) and use it as alternative for part A of the following solution.

TRYING MBAM ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH AS YOU NEED A COMPLETE SOLUTION, here is one (use programs in the order stated):

A) Download MBAM (MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware): http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/... - Install the application and make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish ( If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version ).

Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan ( The scan may take some time,so please be patient ). When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected ( When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart ).

B) Try the tricks and free programs I use: 1) Clean browsers junk.

Method One (now): In Internet Explorer (IE), click the Tools menu, then Delete Browsing History and in the box, click the Delete all button (bottom left) and Yes.

In Firefox (FF), go to tools, clear private data, make sure all boxes are checked and then click on the clear private data now button.

Method Two (Normal use: Every 14 days - Heavy use: Every 7 days): In IE, click the Tools menu, Delete Browsing History and in the box that opens, do these: a) click the button near Temporary Internet Files, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.

b) click the button near History, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close and finally, click the close button (bottom right) to finish.

In FF, Go to tools, clear private data and uncheck all except Browsing History, Cache and Authenticated Sessions boxes then click on the clear private data now button.

Note: Close browser when done to clear cookies still in memory. For other browsers or versions of the programs, check help files for guidance on doing cleanup.

2) Turn off the restore point utility ( Guide for XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and Vista: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Hel... )

3) Use this free cleaner: http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html to remove junk and remnants files.

4) Use a "Disk defragmenter".

5) Turn restore point utility back on. (see part 2)

6) Do not use toolbars (spyware).

7) Persisting problem after this, make sure your virus scanner database is updated.

8) If the problem is very stubborn and you have a router, visit its web site and check for firmware that is more recent than your version. If FOUND, download and install, if NOT, use the router's reset switch, both methods return it to factory settings. "WARNING": Gather router install CDs, guides, passwords before doing this as you will need to do all connections again.

By doing so, you are on your way to being well protected BUT never relax your guard !

And as a bonus, your computer will be cleaner and probably a bit zippier ( all that for free ! )

You need to run an online scan

When PC's (personal confusers) misbehave, one step to help reduce annoying pop-ups & unrequested websites from being displayed on your machine is to turn off 3rd party cookies, and always leave them off.

****************

INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced:

here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies'; 'Allow 1st party cookies' & 'Block 3rd Party Cookies'.

FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy: Check 'Accept Cookies from sites'

& Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'

Safari: (see instr. here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Safar...

****************

These reduce ad garbage, giving nearly ad-free pages when surfing; for Firefox

Flashblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

Add block plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/186...

Popup Master: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/178...

And to deflect server based spy/adware, that tracks your surfing:

"Opt Out"...

Yahoo here: http://info.yahoo.com/relevantads/

Google here: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html

NAI garbage here: http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

DoubleClick poison here: http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving....

Notes:

Because architecture of the Internet (notably 'Flash' scripting), vulnerabilities are readily exploited in Internet Explorer, & it is now >>urgent<< that you

use Firefox with 'NoScript' add-on, which will prevent "Click-jacking'.

NoScript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722

Turn off 'spell check' may help, as this sends keystrokes back to the server also, which may be used to 'target' advertising.

Good luck. :)
