Help on cleaning up laptop?
Computer is running slow again but I have this add from NET ZERO called net flix. Its annoying as crap. As soon as I get connected to the wireless network it pops up even before I have logged on to the internet. I close it and 5 minutes later it pops up again. I leave it alone and it closes and 5 minutes later it pops up again , then closes and then pops up again. How can I get rid of it.Friends dont let friends drive fords!

If you have XP goto -
Start/settings/network connections\Wireless Network Connection . . .
Right click and disable -
I use AdAware for spyware removal - its a free utility.There is no limit to what a man can do . . . if he doesn't mind who gets the credit. (Ronald Reagan)

yep.. adaware, it's spyware or possibly a trojan. if it comes back, it's in the registry and you need to know what your doing when you edit the registryYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

follow this link and download Spybot. Its a great software package that works really well. I use it at home and at work on about 4800 PC's.

Yeah, those darned porn sites will get ya every time.
I'm running two programs....Spybot and Adaware. Spybot gets the majority of the little buggers, but Adaware catches a couple more when I sweep.

Yep. And I seem to move 1 thing and it displaces something else with 1/2 of that landing on the workbench and then I forgot where I was going with this other thing and I'll see something else that...
