has anyone had the rude popup that claims you have been
infected by the blast worm and there is no way to close
the rude @#%^*! I finally got mad enough to just click on
it and found that it leads to Discountbob.com . Then I
right clicked for properties and found that the source
may have been Ad1.zendmedia.com.... can someone tell me
what may be going on here? thank you,G
 
1) Get a browser popup stopper like that at www.panicware.com or the new
(free) google toolbar which is also useful for other purposes
2) Scan your computer with AdAware (update it first) to check for
spyware/browser hijacking, etc
3) Make sure you have a properly configured firewall to stop messenger spam
and other nasty unwanted visitors.
 
I just received the same pop up and had to reboot to get rid of it.
What can we do about this?
