How to stop pops-up ?when I open my internet connection so many pops-up about malicious pictures

Most of the spyware programs on the Internet that will infect your computer log the websites you visit so that they can launch pop-ups and advertise products for you to buy.


If you have recurring pop-ups caused by spyware that appear whenever you connect to the Internet, you will need to completely remove the spyware causing the problem.


The most effective way to remove all spyware from your machine is to use at least two different antispyware programs while your computer is in safe mode so that the spyware cannot open itself.


Navigate your web browser to a website that offers a spyware removal utility such as "Spybot" or "Lavasoft Adaware".


http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html spybot


http://www.lavasoft.com/ lavasoft


Download and install the antispyware software.

Navigate to a second website and download a secondary antispyware utility.


Restart your computer and wait for the manufacturer's logo to appear on the screen.

Press the "F8" key repeatedly until a new menu pops up.


Scroll down through the list of options and highlight the entry labeled as "Safe Mode."

Open up the first spyware utility you installed earlier once the operating system has finished loading in safe mode.


Click on the antispyware utility's "Update Now" button at the left side of the window.


Wait for the program to finish downloading the latest spyware detection routines.

Disconnect your computer from its Internet connection either by unplugging its Ethernet cable or by powering off your wireless router.


Click on the "Search For Problems" button above the "Update Now" button.

Wait for the program to finish scanning your computer's hard drive for spyware, and then click on the "Remove Selected Problems" button.


Close down the antispyware program.

Reconnect your computer to its Internet connection.


Open the second antispyware utility you downloaded earlier.

Run the program's update feature and then disconnect your computer from the Internet again.


Run the program's scan, and then remove any problems it finds.

Reconnect your Internet connection and then restart your computer to finish removing the recurring spyware pop-ups from your PC.


Hope this helps

My computer is enfected the virus,how to delete this virus

first you need to know the name of the file that is on your that your anti-virus app tells you the name. then if your anti virus app cannot remove the file you can try to enter your computer in safe mode do a file search for the name of the file on your computer then delete it and flush your recycle bin.
however, if you do not have an anti virus then what makes you think that you have a virus on your computer? you may have spyware on your computer instead and anti virus apps can see the bug but cannot remove them! so this is why you need both an anti virus app and an anit spyware app to keep your computer clean.
if you have internet access there are 2 free anti virus and anti spyware apps that you download all you have to do is register them online with a valid e-mail account and get them for free! AVG is a good anti virus and Spybot search and destroy is a good anit spyware and they are both free.

I am trying to get to an anti spyware website to download the spy ware to check my computer i can not get to the site although my main computer i can get to it, so i know it is up and working.

You likely have spyware which is blocking your ability to connect to a site that will help you remove it. A lot of todays Spyware and Malware is programmed to identify and block your attempts to remove it. Try downloading Microsoft's Security Essentials (free) or other free Spyware Removal program onto your main computer and saving it to a CDROM, Flash Drive or other media you can use to install and run the application on your infected PC. DO NOT DO A SYSTEM RESTORE. If the malware is blocking your ability to remove it, A system restore will likely not have any effect. Once you have been able to execute a removal software on your computer and have eliminated the threats, then only do a system restore if you have a restore point that you are certain is prior to when the infection occured.
