Hello
I have spent some money with Macafee for Spamkiller, On-Line Virus, Firewall. I don't know what is happening...
O/S Win98SE first- While connecting to the with IE 5.0, the minute the modem start to dial, I get a lot of pop-up windows for sex, search engines, traffic4u banners,and everything else you can think of. If I connect to the internet, I can't download anything , these banners knock me out completely. If I clear them, they re-generate, and again this starts again, and again.

Even with the firewall. I have done on-line virus scans, but to know avail. I even installed windows 2K. Not only did I have to get new drivers, but it got worse.
I really need help. I am trying not to do a complete Format, and install. Much too much info on my drive. I do have backups, but not on all of my program files. Any help Needed.

You will only have those problems with Microsoft operating systems. If you want to stick with a Microsoft operating system (Windows) you might want to head over to http://www.windowsbbs.com/ and ask your question there.

If you are interested in switching away from Microsoft operating systems and applications then stick around here and there are plenty of people to help.

psyjax:
You have spyware that has inadvertently been downloaded to your computer. There are several freeware and shareware programs that remove spywayre from your machine. You could re-install if you want or delete your entire regestrie  :D  (the better choice).

Dump windows, Get Linux, you'll be glad you did. It will feel like a rusty machetee being removed from your ass once your wipe your hardrive clean of that vile OS.

Calum:
the solution is stop using IE, and stop using windows. if you use windows, you can be partially forgiven for thinking you have been forced into it, if you use IE, then sorry, you deserve everything you get.

It may well be worth downloading Ad-aware, as I think you've picked up some spyware on your travels...Good luck!!
