BT, my buddy has the same problems...I've been wondering if those video/humor sites ain't just another source of spyware/adware. My computer is eat up with that shid. Can't totally get rid of it either. Just keeps reoccuring whether or not I go to "questionable"/suspect sites or not. I'm just about ready to throw the thing in the yard and say to Hell with it.
Yeah, lemme know if you can get the name of it. I'm using Adaware and SpyBot... along with CWSShredder (CWS = CoolWebSearch... my biggest nightmare...) They remove it effectively but it ALWAYS comes back, even if I only hit this board, the local rider board, and the 10R board and don't download any files...BT, my buddy has the same problems...I've been wondering if those video/humor sites ain't just another source of spyware/adware.

Oh yeah, I forgot the new Windows Anti-Spyware program in my list above... Seems to work pretty good. Still, the damned things keep coming back...ya, you seriously need ad filters anymore..
try adaware.com, and uh... I think Microsoft has a new one out that everybody is talking pretty good about. (except the "Windows Sucks" crowd I'm sure)
I run two different things.. adaware, and AVG anti-virus.. both free, both pretty effective.
It'll make a whole new computer of your one thats covered up in crap.
