Hey, I was wondering how to get rid of some really
annoying popups. Whenever I go to search in any search
engine this Eros window comes up "porn". Its not a
normal web browser popup either. It plants itself into
my taskbar and creates desktop/and start menu icons. Its
really annoying the **** out of me. I tried upping the
security in my internet options. And that failed. I
also deleted the files that were in my windows registry
(regedit) under the run commands "run/runonce/ect." Yet
it still seemed to pop up. I looked into my windows
system folder and even deleted it there, but still no
luck. I also used a trojan (Swat It) and virus (McAffey)
scanner to find any suspicious files. But still no
luck. I am running out of solutions and I need some
assistance. If someone knows how to rid my computer of
this annoying popup it would be greatly appreciated.
(without having to do a reformatting of my harddrive)
Thanks,
jer
