[nfbcs] popups

[Wm. Ritchhart]

Did you check the pop up blocker settings in Internet Explorer?  I have
gotten on to my computer after my kids and found that the settings had
been changed.

I have also suffered recently from Microsoft delivering hot fixes
without bothering to notify me.  They just down load and install.
Paying no attention to my settings saying they are to do nothing that I
have not initiated. 


THANKS, William

are you referring to the startup entry on the start menu/all programs?
I 
have discovered before that deleting entries from there doesn't stick --
i 
mean if it is in the registry, when I reboot, the original entries will
be 
generated in the start menu startups.  I just ran the microsoft utility
to 
remove malware and despite a pervasive scan, it found nothing amiss.  So
I 
guess I'll just wait for it to turn up again.
Thanks.

have you looked in the startup folder  on your computer.  if you go to
start
menu, all programs, then start up then if it is listed there then use
the
application key or  shift f12 then to delete .  you also can go to the
run
keys in the registry and check if it is there and delete it from there.
if
you go to run then type in regedit then press enter down arrow to hkey
current user then right  arrow then down arrow to software then right
arrow
then down to Microsoft then right arrow  then down arrow to windows then
right arrow then down one time to current version then right arrow then
down
arrow to run then tab and check if this item is there and if it is then
press delete on the key board.  You also need to check under hkey local
machine right arrow then down arrow to software then right arrow then
down
arrow to Microsoft then right arrow then down arrow to windows then
right
arrow then down arrow one time to current version then right arrow and
then
go down to run then tab and check if this item there and delete  it.

Hi all --
over the past few days something has appeared on my system that brings
up
unwanted windows with advertising and other messages. It shows up in the
task manager and I am able to kill it there, but it doesn't appear in
add/remove programs so I don't know how to remove it. I ran a virus scan
and
Norton doesn't identify it as malware.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of this thing?
Next time I reboot I am concerned it will be there again.
Thanks.
