Persistent pop-ups
Hi,
I have just installed a new PC for the kids and am having trouble with pop-ups. The PC runs XP Home and I have installed ZoneAlaem Pro (which I have had on my PC - running W98SE - for some time). The internet connection is through a cable modem connected to a router, into which the PC is plugged.
ZoneAlarm is set to block all pop-ups (in fact the settings on the new PC are exactly the same as on my existing PC) but two ads keep popping up on the new PC - I have no problems on the existing PC. As far as I can see, these ads cannot be getting through the firewall as they are always the same ones and they do not appear on the existing PC only the new one. There must be something on the HD itself.
I have also installed and run Ad-Aware but that has not stopped them (it regularly detects a lot of rubbish though!). I have also tried deleting cookies and temp files but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?
