Adware trouble
Hi there,
I have recently found I have adware on my pc..
I all of a sudden started getting pop up ads..
I have installed Ad-ware 6.0 and run it..
I then received an error message on bootup..so i typed it in the URL...and came with a solution. I had to install and run Spybot- search and destroy. Which I have done.
I don't have any more pop ups now, but whenever I run norton, it says I have 11 threats remaining that can't be deleted. I therefore run spy-bot again. and it says its fixed it, but it is still picking them up. And so is norton. Norton is telling me what each file is, and takes me to a webpage, but it goes on about register keys and stuff. and it goes right over my head..lol!!
I don't know much about computers..lol
Can anyone help me. I really don't know what to do next. And am worried I'll remove a file that my computer needs. I am also worried about what these adware things can do.
Here is what spybot is picking up..
Advertising.com..2 threats
Avenue A, Inc
Double Click
DSO Exploit..5 threats
MediaPlex
ValueClick
all the above have 1 threat unless stated differently
Thanks
Angel
