right. these pop-ups and diallers that've recently started to appear with increasing frequency... what can i download to remove 'em? anything in particular you recommend?
should i just download norton virus software? i don't think there's a firewall or any virus software on this machine either (it's my girlfriends)...

also, to revert to type, FUDGE GIG NEXT THURSDAY

Anti Virus software wont really sort out the problem man. There are some ace pop up killer downloads.....*Hog waits for people to give names*

AD-aware is ace at getting rid of spyware etc.

get Firefox

firefox is an alternative browser to ie it has a built in pop up killer and isnt affected by spyware as IE, i highly recommend firefox

I use AntiVir Guard and ZoneAlarm to guard against PC death

As well as Ad-Aware, you should run Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

Then ditch Internet Explorer and run Firefox instead -

And Antivir is a good free antivirus -

AVG anti virus is another good free virus scanner

if your looking for a firewall as well theres a free version of sygate available. which is the best youll get without paying money

Or you could get someone who knows what to do to fix it.
