hey im having a problem and im hoping someone here can help me. lately after a while being online, when im on any website or even in my email inbox, any link i click on leads to porn sites. is it caused by spyware?...when i looked on the net, spywares usually install dialers or generate pop ups. this only happens when i click on any link on any website. so i usually close my IE browser and it's fine for a while after that.
thanks.

Download Ad-Aware from the following link and set it for a complete scan after installing it: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
Also: Some porn ads have a Remove From Database link on the bottom. They have worked successfully for me in the past. In fact, I have not had a piece of spam literally for months.Last edited by Zandro; 09-28-2003 at 05:45 PM.

i agree! the Lavasoft scan thingy works like a charm!
But we have a computer with windows 95 in the on air studio. and the Lavasoft program doesnt even open correctly on that machine.

Several programs no longer support Windows 95. Windows 98 Upgrade CDs are still available in some independent computer stores (at least in California), but you will most likely have to request it personally.

Another good program for removing spyware is spybot search & destroy which is from a german univesity website. Does an excellent job and can lock the IE explorer home page to stop hijacking by porn sites etc. This URL tells you all about various spyware, adware and even some classed as trojans!

Spybot is the best thing ever. If you really want to clean your system, get both Adaware and Spybot...sometimes one finds thing the other doesnt. But I prefer Spybot since there's some weird hangtime with Adaware on my comp.
Spybot will work on Win95 if you install a couple of DLL files."There is NO sex in the champagne room."
