My computer has got overun with adware & spyware
programs, so many I can't control them, they crash
programs and lag my PC and internet. It has now got to
the stage that when I log in to my PC it doesn't load the
taskbar, ctrl+alt+del window thing or my desktop. I have
to wait until a pop-up ad comes and use the open IE
window to open files on my computer. I have decided to
delete everything on my computer and start a new
installation from scratch. Have anyone else had this or
something like it then please reply. Also does anyone
know of a FREE way to tackle ad-ware and spy-ware.
 
Hi Andrew,

1) Install and run Adaware from www.lavasoft.de

2) Install and run Spybot from www.safer-networking.org

3) Install and run Spyware Blaster from
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

4) Turn on the native firewall or install a third-party one (a third party
firewall will notify you of outgoing traffic as spyware programs "phone
home", the native one won't).

This problem is due to porn searches on internet. solution
to problem is stop surfing adult web sites or/and download
spybot. it's VERY good at erasing your porn-addiction.
