hello all, i need some help please, i downloaded limewire the other night. went to play the music i downloaded and my media player said i had to update and ever since then i have been having a ton of pop ups all the time and i cant get rid of them. i did the malewarebytes scan and it did not find anything. so i need to know if anyone know what else i can do.. i have done a defrag, and cleaned temp internet files, so any help is greatley appreaciated.. i hope someone has an answer.. i am gonna have an answer before long and that would be throw it out the damn window. i just dont know what else to do, when i play pogo i cant even play from all the pop ups keep comming, i exit one and a bunch more keep comming. it dosent just happen in pogo it happens on all websites..
thanks a bunch

sounds like you got a bug from limewire
you will need to do full virus and malware scans
i did all that and it found one trojan and it quaratined it whatever that means, i have kapersky antivirus and malware scans did not find anything. do ya think if i do a systen restore that will fix the problem?? and not really sure i know how to do a system restore. sad.gif

You could try but sometimes these bugs write themselves into your system restore files as well which would only reinstall the bug again. These file sharing services are dangerous places these days. A large number of the "free" files are infected.
Try deleting the quarantined file and run AV again and try scanning with Advanced Windows Care
ok homer i will try that. i uninstalled the limewire and wont do it again. i will let you know what happens...
thanks again homer

Only other thing I can think to do is reformat your HD and reinstall windows. This should only be done as a last resort as it will make everything on your pc go *POOF*
