Annoying pop-ups & error messages

crogirl · 10-15-2004, 03:43 PM

Help. In the past 3 weeks, my computer has been infiltrated with pop-ups. I'm trying to download adware to remove the spyware programs, but I think something infected my computer b/c I cannot open any attachments. Therefore, whenever I try to download the program, it says IE experienced a problem & will shut down. I've tried to open word docs as well, and I get the same error message.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of this problem?

Thanks in advance

Hi crogirl
I think the best plan of attack is to get another browser and then download the anti spy/malware you want and then we can take it from there...If you can get "Adaware" and also "SpyBot S&D"
