Hi.


I keep getting loads of pop ups. I recently installed Imesh and that seems to be the problem. Does anyone know how to stop it?

Also it keeps putting shortcuts to casino websites on my desktop.

Okay, first of all, go to control panel in Windows and uninstall i-mesh. Also uninstall morpheus, kazaa, grokster and anything else like that.

It's shit.

Now go to: http://users.telenet.be/hestia/spybot/s ... oading.htm and download Spybot Search and Destroy. This will get rid of all the annoying popups.

Finally, go to www.k-lite.tk and download kazaa lite. It is like imesh except it has no adverts and is better than kazaa in many, many ways. Install that and you'll be able to get all the music/films/whatever you want.

If 'this thing' is spybot search & destroy, run it from the start menu. It looks for advertising servers on your computer and removes them for you. Run it and then install kazaa lite... it's kind of like a virus scan but for popup windows etc.

I installed google search bar into internet explorer... it seamed to do the trick, it stops web site pop ups too and puts a useful search bar in your browser, but only useful if you like google, you use Internet Explorer and you don't like pop up ads

Just be patient with it I guess...
