DESPERATE TO UNINSTALL SOME #$*# ADWARE - BUT IT SENT ME TO THE INTERNET

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Soemwhere down the line, some piece of crud planted itself into my program list. "Interstitial Ad Delivery by nCase".

I've been getting a truckload of popups even when my browser isn't up, so I'm hunting up ways to get rid of things. When I hit "remove program", it sent me to the internet to download an "uninstall" program.

I'm reluctant to do this, especially since I wouldn't have installed the first one knowingly or voluntarily in the first place - and figure they'll just send me more adware - which has really fouled up this box.

Anyone else have experience with this?

DUMP GATOR!

Use AiRoboForm instead!

Free, no Spyware, and it can import your Gator information!

(Doesn't work with Opera browser, but works with MSIE & Mozilla).

Whoops -- link should be AiRoboForm

Use AiRoboForm instead!

Thanks, haven't tried that one yet. Got a link? The one in your message shows me a picture of a carton of disposable cigarette lighters. :-)

You can probably remove the problem by turning off MS Messenger in your browser, at least it worked for us (Windows 2000 here).

I agree, I used AdAware untill I recently found SpyBot Search & Destroy. SpyBot removed things that AdAware didn't, and it has a great Immunize feature to protect the sytem from getting more Spyware.
