• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Hi I have a BIG problem with my pc.
something has gotten in to my pc that spybot s&d/adaware/norton or even my firewall couldnt detect. it gives me adds in pop ups every time I connect to something (server for gaming/ a web page/ msn) the pop ups only open in Internet Explorer. I even tried to uninstall internet explorer but when my pc restarts... internet explorer is back, and the pop ups as well
and btw: pop up blocker doesnt work because the "thing" disables it.

could someone plz help me
 
this is what's running on my pc:

Hello,

Which version of Spybot Search and Destroy do you run?
Do you have installed the latest updates?

Would be nice to see a bug report.
Run Spybot-S&D, let it scan, try to fix the problems (!) and then go to "Tools --> View Report". Tick on all of the 10 checkboxes (leave "Do not report disabled or known legitimate items" unchecked) you can find there and click on "View Report". Now choose "Export" and save the file to your desktop. Please attach this file to your email and send it again to detections(at)spybot.info.

Best regards
Sandra

A helper will advise you as soon as available.

As Internet Explorer is fully integrated into the Windows Operating System you cannot uninstall IE trying to solve this problem; doing so could place you in the position of having to reinstall Windows. ;)
