How do you get rid of a virus that pops up websites?
Well first of all you want to do three things. install Zonealarm. Zonealarm is free software that controls programs access of the internet and the access of your computer to other computers. This will interfere with the viruses ability to comunicate with its creator or a.k.a. author. The next step is to install system mechanic which is made by iolo.com. Once you've have done this enable the pop up blocker. I personally can attest that it works. In one and a half weeks it block 1500 pop ups. You can even add titles of pop ups you want blocked. Then try scanning your computer with system mechanic to see if your virus is really spyware, adware or another parasite. Then, go to trendmicro.com and run housecall. Housecall will scan everything on your computer and search for active malware. You might need to install the lastest version of Java. But don't worry about this know because housecall will give you an error message if this is so. good luck

Use a program such as Adblocker... It won't remove EVERY advert, but it will 'kill' most screen ads.
Why do you get pop up ads with blocker turned on?
The reason why some people are getting pop-ups of advertisements for insurance and prizes even though a pop-up blocker is installed is that the settings on the blocker may need to be setup correctly. Try going to the options tab in the software and check to make sure that block all ads is checked off.
Is PC Cillin a good virus software?
PC Cillin is a good antivirus software but it still has to be updated a bit to catch up with other antivirus softwares. It is missing a few features that can be found in more recent antivirus software packages.

What is a filtering program that stops pop-up ads from displaying on webpages?
Most browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have automatic popup blocking. Some antivirus programs like Norton have additional popup blocking features.
Why do pop ups and new windows come up blank using Windows Explorer?
I tried an Alt-click, saw the blank pop-up, opened Adblock Plus Prefs, clicked the drop-down arrow for each filter subscription, scrolled to the bottom and un-enabled all related to answers.com and it's fixed.
What are the cons of pop up ads?
Pros: * Folks might notice your ad when they're focused on something else.
Cons:
* Folks will notice that your ad is annoying and they will deliberately avoid doing business with you and they will block future content from appearing. * They are bad for accessibility because it is often difficult for visually impaired people to notice a new window has become available and many screen readers do not know how to appropriately deal with them and thus is confusing. * Pop-up blockers are implemented into all of the mainstream browsers (either built in or as a plug in), so many users will never see your pop-up windows, even if the interaction was requested by the user, unless that user (knows how to) disable the pop-up blocker. This results in many complaints that the website simply does not work for them as they are unable to view requested (and unrequested) information. Since blockers are so widely deployed, many users don't even know what pop ups are and how to enable them.
* On top of all that, many pop ups have a timer on them and this leads to even more frustration for the user who cannot read them fast enough (what was that?).

Adware deletionWhen I ran my McAfee scan, it associated two files with Adware-Virtumondo: setupd.exe and _update.dat.I removed the files by going in to the "safe mode and command only" option of the safe mode start menu.
It gave me a c:\>
At the prompt I changed to the directory where the files were located (c:\>CD windows)
At the new prompt I deleted the setupd.exe file (c:\windows>del setupd.exe)
Then I changed directories again to where the second file was: (c:\windows>CD temp)
At the new prompt I then deleted the second file (c:\windows\temp>del _update.dat)
I then rebooted my computer and the adware-virtumondo files are now gone.
More input from FAQ Farmers:
I filed a complaint demanding immediate removal of my email address and adware receiving from their database. My system was clearded in a day. That was one week ago and I haven't seen anything since.

After quarantineing the files keydll.exe & lldyek.dat w/ the AVG Anti-Spyware, dump the files finally using that tool.
The viral processes will now be finally killed...Now all that is left is to go get rid of the leftover keys in the registry. I used CCleaner.exe for this;
http://www.ccleaner.com/update/?v=1.34.407&l=1033
Install it,
Run Cleaner repeatedly until it removes 0 bytes.
Run Issues, Scan for Issues, Fix all Issues found, always backup the changes by creating a CCBackups folder in My "Documents",
1 key you will find on the first pass will be; C:\DOCUME~1\Locals\Temp\lldyek.dat (the nasty re-creator of the keydll.exe file and that key will finally be deleted. Dump any file found using a drive search by the names in the very second paragraph of this post. (keydll.exe, lldyek.dat, or both using the file extension of .config or .bak).
Scan for Issues again until clean (No Issues Found).
Then check the Start-Up Folder by using the Tools Function of CCleaner, then the Startup Button. highlight and delete *keydll.exe if present there. Also cleanup other entries you wish in the Startup folder using that tool. (***NOTE: look up the files first using a Yahoo or Google search first if you don't know what they are).
It should be clean of that nasty offending beast. Now use Spybot S&D 1.4.exe, Bazooka Scanner.exe from Kephyr.com, SpywareBlaster.exe, and Ad-AwareSE Personal.exe from Lavasoft and get the rest of the spyware out.
Lastly Run HijackThis and delete any item there referring to the above listed files...They will be listed as "(file missing)" which is a good sign...an 02 BHO, and a 20!
Good Luck!
