I updated from Microsoft windows XP Updates and started
getting ad pages thet pop up while I am in Word, Photoshop,
Excel, or any other application. They say "adserver" and
will be prefaced by different things like
"z1.adserver.com/w/cp.x;rid=2;ev....... on and on.
While I am typing this I have received 4 of them. Another
one just came in that says it comes from "Exit Exchange
orbitad - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
Where are they comming from and how can I get rid of them.
I can not use my lap top because of all the interuptions.
It seems like it would be a really good class action suit
or something. It's frustrating.
HELP!!!
