Re: Anybody getting pop-ups?
 
I Get supposed "Windows Messages" saying my computer is being attached by internet spyware. I re-directs me to a spyware remover with a Free Scan but have to pay for removal.

Funny thing is, it does it even when the internet isn't up and running like while tuning a car!

I use Firefox and the Adblock extension along with a filterset updater. Also with AdAware, the mini pc works pretty good.

Why are you such a computer elitist.... If he cant remove spyware on his on, theirs no ------- way he can use linux. Not everyone likes to search for hours to figure out every error you get when trying to install whatever RPM.

Go to www.sysinternals.com. Click on "Processes and Threads", download Process Explorer and Autoruns.

Process Explorer shoes you the processes running, and where they are running from.

Autoruns is like msconfig, but much better.

Post up for more instructions, it can get complicated.
