Frosty Jack Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 what name comes up in hijack this? Your best bet is to put the name into Google, and you'll probably find a permanent solution on some webgeek forum somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprinted Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'd use Linux if most of the software i use wasn't windows based.use firefox with it's pop up blocker, AVG anti virus, Zone Alarm and SP1+2 and i don't have any problems at all which is nice.
