S**T! I'm being raped by adware

Where did this COME FROM??!! All the sudden I have all this "eZula" sh!t taking over my computer, along with a few trojans...hopefully ad-aware will get rid of most of this...if not, any ideas?

format -> reinstall windows -> don't click yes when things pop-up.

run adaware and spybot
they will fix it

get a decent browser
opera
firebird
crazy browser or myie2 if you like IE
google toolbar

Stop installing so much crap.

Actually, there has been a new kind of popup ad over the last several months. I think they're flash based or what have you, and mimic a "windows" window, but even the little X (close) button is part of the entire ad - a clickable link. These ads usually hang out in the middle of your web browser making it difficult to read around them.

I hate these with an annoying passion.

Ahhh, I love you ad-aware...it got it all out.

Anyway, the problem isn't me downloading crap, but everyone else who uses this computer. They don't know that when a IE window pops up and says you have a "virus, click here," that it's fake. Oh well, thanks ad-aware.
