Ultra Frosty Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I just un-installed PartyPoker and after such I get these adds from IE that popup out of no-where. I checked the task manager and after I close them, IE is not running. I updated AdAware and Spybot and neither were able to stop them popups. Help. By the way: DAMN YOU TO HELL PARTYPOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gowcra Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Okay firstly, i need you to calm down. I am a tech suppot rep and hate it when people call me and are bloody hysterical. (annoying) Okay, do it manually then, since you claim that you've used both programs. (I find it hard to belive because both those programs are great at dececting ad-aware/spyware) Look on your Drives and try and manually remove them. Also do a search on neowin and other tech sites. There might be some registry removals you can do.

Ultra Frosty Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 Well. I had no choice but to set my PC on fire :huh: :pinch: Jk.

umteen Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Party Poker doesn't get blocked as spyware or malware by either Ad-Aware SE or Giant Antispyware. Giant asks if you want to block or allow, Ad-Aware SE does nothing. So to the "tech suppot rep" Gowcra, you didn't give any good "suppot" here.

Torment Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 MS Anti-spyware had a Definition Update today (this morning). Maybe give it another go and see how you go.

Ultra Frosty Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 I can't believe it. This POS didn't get removed after I used PGP's wipe from disk feature to totally destroy it.

Ultra Frosty Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 Well, It seems that MS Anti-Spyware worked. If it didn't I will be setting my PC on fire.
