This pop-up infiltrated my pc from a porn site and I cannot find anyway to get rid of it. I’ve done a disk clean-up and a search through the "Add or Remove Programs" list and device manager list with no postive results. It is bugging the @#$%^ out of me! My TrendMicroPC-Cillin anti_virus/anti-adware software does not detect it.

    Scan your system with Super Anti Spyware found here:

    Use the Free Home Users scan, and do a full scan of your computer. Don’t use any other programs while your scanning, just let it do it’s job and remove what infections it finds.

    Good Luck

    Sound to me like, that you have some Rouge Anti-Spyware Installed on you computer. How this got there, could be from several things. One major way that this might have got there is by Clicking YES or NO to a pop-up. Don’t do that. Use the RED X at the top right of those pop-ups.

    Also use this free Anti-Spyware/Mal-ware/Ad-ware Scanner from Face Time.
    You will need to say YES to the Active X and the Security Warning that POPS up and in the information bar. RUN (do not Save) this. Run it from current location.
