something that I downloaded recently has also installed this annoying pop up ad software too and I hate it...there is a folder for it in my 'programs' menu however it dosnt have an 'uninstall' feature so how on earth do you get rid of this then?????:)
 
I've had GAIN on two computers :mad:, and on one I was able to uninstall it using the Add/Remove Programs thingy in the control panel. On the other one, it wasn't on the list of programs for some reason, so I just deleted the folder from the c:/ drive. That may be a bad thing to do, but it worked okay for me!

:wave: my work computer is screwed up anyway. who cares if I screw it up more?
 
try a program called ad-aware, it searches for spyware programs on your computer and gives you the option to remove them.
Tis quite useful
Though I think some programs (file-sharing etc) require you have their extra software to function, but if you want rid of it, this is the way to go afaik

well then I must of received GAIN when I downloaded KAZZA recently- so do you know if it will stop working if I uninstall GAIN????:)

Kazaa will stop working, but you can install Kazaa light which doesn't have the spyware and popups. I'd do a search on cnet.com or google for download sites. :)
