Pop-Up Stopper Help!

[sjm1027]

A few days ago I sent out a post about pop-ups and it was suggested to me that I install some type of Pop-Up stopper. Well I did and I am using Panicware Pop-Up Stopper (Free Version) on Win98 2nd Edition.
It seems to have some problems and one of them is in an attachment with this thread.http://

All,
I forgot to mention that in the morning I still have 6 popup windows accross my bottom banner and it is now even harder to clear this screen. any ideas?

I'm not sure your error message was caused by your popup program. It is more likely to be from the page explorer was trying to open.
I use a program from AnalogX called POW.
It allows you to choose what popups are killed. This requires deciding while the popup is opn, once registered in the program it won't open again. I find this much safer than using a program that stops all popups, and simpler too. I does require you to view the popup one time, but if you frequent sites that have repeated popups it's truly helpful.

Control Panel, Internet Options - Advanced. Uncheck "display a notification about every script error" and check "disable script debugging". Download Spybot or Ad-Aware and do a spyware scan.

I ran the software and it found 19 infected files. Some are Dll Files

I will attach the log file to the bottom of this reply.
If anyone thinks it is worth it I will pick it up! I am just afraid of deleting a DLL did it before and was screwed by it

Thanks
Steve

[Dan]

what software did you run?
I would let the program correct the problems. Most of the files are from Gator, a spyware laden program...and should be deleted...but let the program do it for you....the keylogger is watching every keystroke yiou make, the sooner you get rid of it the better....
if you installed Gator yourself, be sure to uninstall it...

[glc]

You are seriously infected by malware. Let Spybot (NOT Spynuker) clean it up and hope it will still boot and get on the Internet - and stop clicking "yes" every time IE wants to install something for you.

Well glc you were right.
I did what you suggested and cleaned up approx. 85 files of junk... My system seems much better and if I go away for an hour I come back and still see my desk top not 5 ads stacked up!

I appreciate all the help you all gave me.

Thanks,
Steve

May I suggest using the MOZILLA browser... I'm currently using ver . 1.2.1 ... Its free from mozillal.org ... Since I've been using it I haven't had pop-up probs @ all !!!

[sjm1027]

Thanks,
I will give it a try

Also try out Netcaptor at www.netcaptor.com. It's an IE shell that has its own built in pop-up killer.
