i can be on any site using ie, and every once in a while random porn windows will pop up. clear out of the blue. adaware just found some cookies, but nothing else. any ideas what can be causing this or what i can do to stop it from happening?
wtf - random porn keeps popping up
- Thread starter dolph
- Start date
use the task manager and see if any weird threads are running
and just search for executable on the hd and delete it

first of all, wrong forum.
Second of all, those don't get there without first getting a cookie or a program or script from a porn site. Somebody's been naughty.
Disconnect ethernet from the back of the computer
clear cache / cookies
reboot
look for programs in your add/remove programs list that suggest sexual content
remove them
look through your HDD for similar programs
look through your start menu for similar programs
remove all of them
clear cache / cookies again, shut down
plug ethernet back in
restart computer
if that don't work, GOOD LUCK.

nothing unusual there
Are you running any kind of file sharing app? ie Kazaa?
occasionally imesh, but these aren't small windows that pop up like they do when imesh runs, they're maximized screens and it happens regardless of imesh running or not
Stop visiting Porn sites.
to keep it from happening.... stop browsing porn sites!

Yea... unless you get lucky and manage to find the offending program, that's the best way. I had a program that put this flash search menu on my desktop, and it installed itself when i visited some crazy website by accident.. I ended up searching their site carefully and i found a removal tool.

No, I'm actually not angry at all right now. I just feel like being called a liar.
