Hii

At the minute, my pc is crawling with these.

I can barely do anything uninterupted anymore. Every five minutes internet explorer pages get spammed and the only escape from it is the Task Manager. This among annoying pop-ups and the like.

I was wondering what you guys use?

I have both AVG and Avira running. Avg can't get rid of them permantly and Avira is practically useless for deleting them.

Any reccomendations, before my computer mysteriously ends up through the wall? -_-

Thanks

First off, do NOT get Norton, it is crap, Avast is good for a free one, also I am running Trend Micro Pro 09 for myself and only ever get cookies in.

Will try Avast

Thankies

lol, I know, Norton is awful!

There's your error. Get firefox - that should cut out a whole raft of problems you might be having with IE.

Very true, swap out IE for FF with Adblock plus installed, should help a lot.
