I must have downloaded something recently, I don't know, but I keep getting annoying pop-ups that i didn't usually get. Even when IE isn''t even opened.
Spyware? I downloaded the microsoft anti-spyware beta thing, it helped a little but the problem still persists. Can anyone recommend something to do about this? I'm thinking about doing a system restore to a few weeks ago, but prefer that as a last resort.
well the one called bargains is sure to be spyware... most likely one sending you popups. You also have two processes called explorer which if that isnt a typo could mean some program is masquerading in as one of them. The real explorer should be about 12,800k in size. Do you use a peer to peer network? if not... I would definately kill that p2pnetworking. That could be a problem one. There are a couple others like BigFix that I dont recognize that could be possibilities.
I would definately try that one called bargains though first. That almost seems too obvious.
