Login Tracking?

Often when I click on a link, on my way to it another page pops in over the top. For example, if I click a link for MAC iPOD information, a page offering me a free iPOD will intervene.

If I do a search for spyware, then a page pops up telling me I'm infected with god knows how many problems and tries to force me into clicking to download their programme.

So my movements are being tracked by advertisers. How do I stop it?

These are just two of many examples.

Hi Alex,

You have spyware. There is software that is using smart technology to see what you are typing in and using keywords it is "offering" you a solution to what you are wanting.... Why? because some people are just ignorant enough to click on them and follow the links... Thank goodness you are not like that. But you are infested with the spyware for sure. Now we just need to clean your system and you will be ok.

Go to http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007/30... and download Ad Aware. Install it and then run the program. IT will remove a lot of the infestations but they are far from cleaned out yet. Restart your computer in safe mode. Do this by telling it to restart and as it starts to come on hit the F8 hit repeatedly until it brings you to a menu. Then select windows safe mode no network support. Then it will finally start and then run Ad Aware one more time. After it comes up and you have more that it found run it again and repeat until it finally returns no objects found.

Then reboot.

Start up your browser and see if it behaves this time.

If you do not have any type of anti-virus protection by all means go to the home page of download.com and look at two avast and avg. I am not sure which is better. There are many people who would rather fight over which is best rather than spend time with a buddy quaffing a few root beers if you know what I mean?

Good luck email me if you have more wuestions or I was not clear in my pounding of the keys...
