I regularly run Adware and Spybot, but I still have an annoyance with my home computer (kids, you know). When online, I have incessant white background with print pop-ups that jump in every 5-10 seconds. To counteract them I have installed a pop-up killer but I still get the annoying visual blip of the pop-up. I am 99.9% certain there is malware on my machine that is causing the headache. Suggestions?

Use Mozilla/Opera/or Firebird all of which have pop-up killing built in as an option, there is no window or flash indicating it is blocking it..

Install, run, update the database then scan your system using Adaware as listed in my previous post.

Spyware Blaster is good to prevent intrusions before the fact but again, you have to keep the database updated.

Oops! Forgot to mention that if you feel the malware is a virus as opposed to adware then AVG as listed in my previous post is an excellent and free anti-virus program. Download, install, run, update the database then scan your system for viruses. AVG has consistently stopped viruses that NAV has missed.

Some virus programs will identify some adware as worms when, in fact, they are adware so it is always wise to run both Adaware and an anti-virus scan.

The visual blip of the pop-up can't, as far as I know, be stopped.
