I'm sorry but this isn't enough information for us to help you. If you

are getting lots of ad-related popups, there is a strong probability

that your computer is infested with malware. Clean it up.

 

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to

do all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using

Multi_AV in Vista.

You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your

malware here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the

specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).

 

Not all tools used will work in Vista and you will need to run them

elevated. Since Vista is so new, it will be a while before removal

techniques and tools are developed. If you are unable to remove the

infection by following the general steps, register at one of the

HijackThis forums as suggested.

 

Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no

shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a

professional computer repair shop (not your local version of

BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops

are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may

be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all

your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
