Hi all,

Well, this is the last straw im gonne crasp before doing a complete reinstalling of windows XP, im hoping you guys can help me prefent this.

The things is this.. since about a week now. i keep getting a Javascript pop-up. and i cannot block/deleted or even find it anywhere. when i do a backwards link this is what it says:
*copy/paste
link:javascript:"<HEAD><TITLE> </TITLE></HEAD><BODY%20LEFTMARGIN=0%20TOPMARGIN=0%20MARGINHEIGHT=0%20MARGINWIDTH=0><a%20href=http://servedby.advertising.com/click/site=0000118807/mnum=0000168926/genr=1/tkdt=B0P6R1T0/bnum=5953286%20target=_blank><img%20src=http://cdn2.adsdk.com/CDN/65043/BAC9274a_720x300.gif%20border=0%20alt='Click%20to%20learn%20more...'></a></BODY>"

normaly i would just copy this whole line into my internet restrictions. but that doesnt work.
any one of you guys have any idears on howto remove this?
I already installed the Googletoolbar that does do the trick either..


second problem:

every 5 min, i keep getting a pop-up that asks me to log in to this site:

anubi5.europe.webmatrixhosting.net

I have no clue what site this is. and copy/past in the url bar. doesnt do anything, placing it under internetrestrictions doesnt do anything either

This is very anoying cos itmakes me unable to play any game. cos i keep going back to the desktop

i installed ad-aware. scanned for spyware. found alot of spyware files all removed those.

i ran Norton anti virus no virusses found.

i tried looking for it in reg-edit. cant find anything

please help me

thanks in advance for your time

Maybe try an alternative browser? I dunno if this would help, but lots of bad things are made for Internet Explorer :(

Have you got the latest Windows XP patches, a lot of the spyware takes advantages of "holes" that need to be fixed, otherwise they just keep coming back.

Also remove any "toolbars" and other plug-ins for IE, often spyware checkers do not determine those as spyware even though they have the same effect.

blacksoul, dont bother will full mozilla suite if you want to just try a browser, grab firefox from their site. You won't have any problems using it, tis easy.

Do you have a firewall? You need to add anything webmatrix to it :)
I would second Firefox... has problems with sites that aren't optimised for all browsers but if I have to (NATWEST) then I've always got IE.

Natwest are gimps when it comes to online banking.

I'm with Halifax though, so it doesn't bother me :D
