What's the right forum? Spam doesn't belong anywhere. Spammers should be beheaded.

DIE SPAM DIE!!!

Spam is the bane of the internet,
well, that and fucking pop-up crap...
(that really fucks me right off too!)

At the moment I've got some fucking bastard 'home page' that
I don't want (and can't get rid of) and every so often while I'm
surfing, the web page that I'm looking at spontaneously
changes to some fucking shitty lame-assed porn site, complete
with an eruption of pop-ups so severe that I'm occasionally
forced to resort to turning off my computer to make it stop!

They should bring in the death penalty for the fuckers who
create this shit!



(ok, rant over)

It sounds like a case of spyware. Try running 'Ad Aware' (AdAware? nore sure). It's free and has a good reputation for getting rid of all this junk. I've never had the problem so haven't used it myself.

I can't stand Spam, its so irritating and don't get me started on pop up ads mad!!!. I almost lost all my college work thanx 2 pop-up ads and some other crap which messed up my system registry. Luckily I managed 2 get in2 safe mode and clean the registry so every1 went back 2 normal. 4 that reason alone I can't stand pop-up ads, spam and all that other crap.

As 4 what u say Boris, delete ur history, cookies and temporary internet files and also go 2 Internet options and u should b able 2 type in a webaddress 2 have as ur home page.

Hope this helps u & every1 else who r affected by pop-up ads, spam etc. etc.

I tried that, but unfortunately it didn't make any difference.
I've now had to abandon using 'Internet Explorer' and am now
using 'Mozilla' instead. I've had to practically give up on
email too as I'm now getting around 200 spam a day.

I'm a Mozilla convert too. To avoid spam you should try using the mail package in Mozilla (assuming you're using a POP mail account). It has an excellent anti-spam function that learns from what you indicate to be spam or not spam. So it improves over time, and now almost all my spam correctly goes straight into the spam folder. Mozilla is just a darn good (and safe) program!

OK, perhaps there is some 'spyware' residing in ur PC's registry. Try using a program which can 'clean' the system registry and it should make it disappear. As 4 pop-up ads, use a pop up blocker, there r alot of freeware programs which can do this, however, some pop up ads still appear.
As 4 email u say u get 200 spam emails a day, I'm sure there is a program that can filter email and delete spam.

Hope this helps as spam, popup ads, spyware et al really irritate me greatly.
