Somebody please tell me what to do. A couple days ago I somehow accidently uploaded some pop up add campaign. I saw it loading with the little folder and paper thingy and I tried to cancel it but it froze! When I rebooted, it was there- pop up ads every few seconds. This computer is already so damn slow it can hardly function on this message board and sometimes won't even load all the pics in a PLEBA thread. All I need is for a bunch of horseshit to keep popping up with flashy colorful ads that take forever to load and won't let you x them until they are fully loaded!
I did a search on my computer and found them and deleted them and emptied my recycle bin. But they came back!! I did it a second time, and found out they had survived by mutating themselves into 'default' versions of themselves! I deleted and dumped the defaults and yes it happend again!! So I did it again, and did a search for them and it came up clean. But just now, I got another one popping up!!
Is there some way to kill these bastards for good? I don't want pop up blockers because I like being able to click on things on websites like this one and yahoo and open another window seperate from the one I'm using. There has to be something to do, they can't keep mutating forever, can they?
