Windows - This fucking IE window keeps opening
 

This fucking IE window thats full screen and titled: Windows keeps opening every few minutes, its an ad, I've run ad-aware but it didnt find it.. anyone had to clean this shit up before?

is it fucking red and/or an ad for anti spyware?

its white, with some text about "buy this software to keep this from happening"

what ad-ware did you use?

ad-aware?

Hey I got one of those this morning too, finally got rid of it by closing all my open windows. It ended up popping a download on me, which I'm investigating now.

Wonder where they are coming from

try spybot search and destroy

its from these fuckers:

helluva fucking auto responder eh?

the current database for ss&d DOES NOT FIND IT

I dont have spyware on my computer, it was trying to download some tho.

this IS spyware and nasty shit
and the anti SW tools havent caught up with it

I just got the EXACT same thing on my pc... irritating.

Ad Aware & Search & Destroy couldn't find it.. seems to be web based, I just did a Disk Cleanup and it hasn't popped since

fucking kazaa

Try HiJack This

kazaa users:
make sure that gay assed p2p networking isnt running

I dont have kazaa

or use kazaa lite without all that extra spyware crap :)

Ihad one yesterday..actually several. One was called "N-case"..this one needed a program downloaded to uninstall it..and still didnt work. The other one is "sahagent.exe (shop at home agent)....this is a motherfucker to get rid of. Have to gey rid of it via the registry....I welcome spam compared to this fucked up spyware shit.:feels-hot

i use BearShare as an alternative to Kazaa:thumbsup

I dont have shareware or adware on my computer... I dont do kazaa, bearshare, NONE of those at all. I can run adaware right now and it will only find cookies, I'm particular about everything else.

I think its a new popup window personally and I'd love to see the code.

TURN OFF MESSENGER!!!

That's where the message is comming from. It ain't spywarz on your system.

WHICH messenger?

messenger can open internet explorer windows? Shutup

I had it to ... i dont remember ho wi got rid of it

I got rid of it last night with Spybot (available at download.com). Took me hours to kill the fucker.. Starts with a full screen white page with text advertising spyware removal software. Went to the site to see if there was any info to use to track the idiots down and after that started getting the red console that says "wanna see something neat? hold down the enter key for 10 seconds" and of course while you are holding down the enter key they sneak some shit in for you to accept.. Very sneaky. Good thing I was taking my time and noticed it before I clicked OK.
Finally got rid of it and turned my PC off and went to the airport and caught my flight to Phoenix. Got to the Lightspeed offices and walk in and Rochard is about to kill his computer because he got the same damn thing. :1orglaugh

and people think WE are bad! :BangBang:

i thought i had too

wrong

it keeps coming back
and i have a fresh update for ss&d

Never mind.. I'm still getting it, fuck this is irritating.. SpyBot didn't get rid of it like it did for Zebra

Is it possible that it's coming from ICQ? It seems to me I only have these problems when I have an ICQ message box open. I'm using ICQ lite and they are HTML ads there - is it possible that these ads are popping the windows?

Kazaa has basically put Kazaa Lite out of business...

I also downloaded a new update from windowsupdate.com that had an exploit fix in it. I did that and then used spybot. Not sure which one got rid of it, if it really did. I surfed for about another 15 minutes and saw no more popups.

Ahhhh!
That's a possibility! I have it open and I've gotten a few of these as well! Argggggg!:feels-hot

my new homepage

http://www.kymberlyrenee.com/spy.gif

I have the same thing, checked everything but can;t seem to find it :( It fucking irritates me :ak47:

A few days before I started getting this popup I started getting prompts saying that my icq was trying to close the current page if I left an ICQ window open too long. If I clicked yes it would make the ad at the bottom of the ICQ window close. Not sure if this is related or maybe caused by my firewall.

What I have is coming from ICQ. I notice every time a new window pops up, and ICQ box also goes up. As long as I have no icq messages open I'm fine.

Same here.. prompts to close the window, which would kill the banner.. yesterday no ICQ windows has banner whatsoever.. and now I also notice that it's ONLY when I have an ICQ window open and active that I get the console..

Just did a windows update and am running spybot again.. if this doesn't work I'm gonna try not using ICQ for the rest of the day.. we'll see

Same thing here it's irritating as fuck, going to keep this thread bookmarked and see if anyone stumbles upon the solution, going to try some of the things already mentioned.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

MAn I have had this shit for 4 fucking days!!!!!!!!!!!
And Yes Zebra it started with that fucking windows is trying to close something and blah bl;ah blah!!!!
And tyoday I went to download and downloaded every fucking thing I could for spy ware... Loaded em all and scanned em all!!!!

I then still had problems
so then I did a disk clean up and that held it off for a bit!!! But not completely!!!! FUCKERS!!!!!

So then I all a sudden my ICQ stopped loading and shit would freeze and be fucked!! I was like WTF!!!!

So then I completely uninstalled ICQ and reinstalled and it still wouldnt load!!!!!

But for about 3 hrs today I still couldnt relog into ICQ but durring that time I didnt have the FUCKING HAHAHHA at all!!!!!!!

So now I am home and I see this thread and my ICQ is working and still no HAHAHAHA'S!!!!!

I will keep you informed!!!!

OH QUICK NOTE!!!!!

MY MAC HAS NO PROBLEMS!!! ONLY MY 3PC'S!!!!

this crap comes thru any message service you may have open.
my brother had this like 6 or 8 months ago and it came thru microshit messenger and wrote to the harddrive, then it can go anywhere on your machine.

to get ride of it you have to go into Regedit and get rid of it, then do a search on your machine to see where else it might be then get rid of that then reboot.

if you run the names of some of these companies selling the cure for this shit in Google you will find a lot of threads about it and how to get rid of it.

I have had to deal with having my browser hijacked a coupla months ago...
Spyware Guard , yes I know it's another icon in the system tray, but it works...I have never had my browser hijacked since (and with googles popup killer no more of that nonsense either). I don't work for either company, just another programmer in the trenches. :2 cents:

Like I said earlier, messenger can open IE Browers? I have messenger turned off anyway.

itd be helpful if you told us what keys to look for

bump


#1: yes its related to icq somehow
#2: googlebar seems to block it
#3: ive tried 4 apps and NADA, maybe ss&d will fucking update soon
