Frickin Weird Spyware?
Okay so i have been getting these rather infrequent popups, not for porn mind you and cannot seem to find where the heck this crap is coming from. I was listening to a webinar with mozilla open and all of the sudden i hear "Congratulations you have won a free computer click on", and then nothing a couple of minute later i get a women telling me congratulation you won a free Wii and then nothing. Anyone had this problem? I did not have any internet explorer windows open and i have run norton and windows defender with no change.

Stay off this board until you figure it out. You'll infect the entire FOFC nation!

Usually when I get weird stuff like that, I will go a Google search. Someone is bound to have figured out the best way to remove it (which more often than not requires safe mode and registry editor) I actually have an annoying one on my PC at home as well that Spybot and Defender won't pick up. It happens, almost impossible to avoid these days.
