Pop Up Log in box in PCMECH!!! Annoying me!
When I change to a different page in PCMECH.com it comes up with a login style box the title of the login box says -
Connect to ads1.ad-flow.com Then it displays a picture on some keys silver and gold says connecting to ads1.ad-flow.com Then asks for Username : with a box to input Password : with a box to input little box to tick for remember password What the hell is this!!! I'm fed up of pressing cancel!! |

You've got some ad blocking software, and it's trying to block ad-flow (the banner at the top of the site), and asking for permission.
Just block ad-flow completely from showing, or turn that bit off. |

I have zonealarm pro and ad blocking is disabled and is currently allowing all ads? I downloaded kazaa earlier today? It didn't come up with the box prior to this. But how do I get rid of it?

Download Spybot and run it. Whether that helps or not, atleast you will be rid of spyware.

Kazaa has put ad-flow in the hosts file.
You'll be much better getting rid of kazaa, and get kazaalite. |

Not really. When you installed kazaalite, did you go for all the default options?
If so, check the hosts file, there's a ton of stuff in there that you may want to take out, or simply delete the hosts file. |

You can safely delete it, and it should be recreated automatically.
If you have any troubles, just create a new one, simply called "hosts" with no extention, and in it put one line: localhost=127.0.0.1 |
