what to do if you are overwhelmed by popups and dont know what to do:
1: turn off computer. use the power switch. or better still, unplug from wall socket.
2: take your computer(monitor and all) to the nearest pawn shop
3: bargain for atleast 300$ (or ur pound equivalent)
4: get that mountain bike u always wanted to have but could never save enough for
maybe life is just a dream

The above method is a way to manually remove a certain bot. Most bots are compressed, and encrypted to confuse even the most up to date virus scanners. And even killing firewalls. Before doing what itís suppose to do.
Be careful, out there, in the wilderness, and amongst the many wolves which prowl the wires, looking for its next victim. Because Iíll tell you, itís a pretty sight, seeing over 10,000 victims sitting helpless in some server. Waiting to be used and abused. Used, and engaged in there own little cyber wars. Be careful.

Enable all hidden files to be shown. Tools > Options > View > Show all files/hidden.
Open C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, Click last modified tab.
Select the spybot file, which when compressed should be roughly 25k minimum in size.
Since some pricks donít allow you to view task list or msconfig, then you have no choice but to rename it.
Or, start > run > msconfig, and if the .exe is stopping you from entering to either this or your task list. Reboot your system.
Now try unticking the exe, from start-up process, and delete it from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder :)
Problem solved.
MS-DOS prompts commands:
Netstat -an ---------- (to check all active connections)
If you notice, something like this for instance
TCP 81.79.71.183:139 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 81.79.71.183:4830 65.248.50.53:6667 ESTABLISHED
Port 6667, is a common IRC port. And it is likely that the malicious .exe which is running, hidden in the background has already connected to the botnet masters server. Awaiting commands to be issued to it. Like.
Startkeylogger, sniffing and logging your every key stroke
And the most common one :)
Syn 127.0.0.1 100 80 99999, syn packet flood ip 127.0.0.1 delay 100, port 80, and 9999 times. Utilising your connection, totally lagging you to death, until you reboot your system.
I have modified and worked closely with spybot, as well as many other malicious bots in the past. And Iím confident that with a little knowledge youíll forget this stigma that everyone seems to have about viruses. Which also comes attached with most virus awareness sites. Remember they are easier to remove, then to have one infect you. If you have the know how that is.
Donít accept files with the .COM extension. COM is another extension for .EXE
Make sure your running a good firewall like Zone Alarm.
Firewalls are good in the sense where they alert the user, of all new connections going out as well as incoming ones. And the name of the file which is responsible, allowing you to stop it and be aware that something just isnít right.
I hope this has helped. And if you need any further guidance, then let us know.

You may also be receiving pop-ups because of spyware in that case you need to download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com
Download the standard free version and install, check for updates and then run the scan and remove all the spyware.
Make sure you also have virus scanning software on your pc, even some types of viruses advertise pop-ups.
Another way of stopping messenger (NOT MSN Messenger) pop-ups is by enabling or installing a firewall.
If you are using windows XP click Start>Control Panel>Network Conections>Right click your connection>Click advanced and enable firewall.
So summary-
Enable firewall to stop messenger pop-ups
Run virus scanning software to remove and protect from viruses
Run AdAware to remove spyware
Install Google Toolbar to stop web site pop-ups
And jobs a good-un!

Agreed about using AdAware but it doesn't catch all spyware. Worth using 2 apps to kill spyware. The second that I would recommend is Spybot Search & Destroy. Get it free from here: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download

What we like at...? What do you mean? Are you asking what our experiences in this field are? I suppose we're pretty familiar with solving computer problems if its a minor. If it's a hardware problem, say you dropped your computer because youre a douche, then just burn it.

haha, agreed!
For me opera is great because it can stop and continue DL's, kinda like that bittorent program as well as mozilla and such. I highly recomend it for you modem users!

yeah, Opera has some great features. I am a dial up user, and Opera increases the DL speed by at least 1 to 2 kbs. Also, pop can be blocked or accepted by hitting F12, so for those sneaky sites that you NEED the pop ups for, just do that. The advert is NOT a big deal and most of the time, you wont even notice it. What i do to ignore it is to change the skin to IE skin so everything is small and the advert becomes less of an eye sore.

The alternative browser sky is talking about is called Opera, its very fast, but the only drawback is that it has an advert right at the top!

In my experience, the Google pop up blocker is the best. Theres another type of internet explorer called Oracle or some thing if youre on regular Dial Up. Might wanna look into that.
