Q: Help! Every time I log onto the Internet, I am bombarded with these full-page sites that want me to sign up for their services. I have the button checked that prevents pop-ups, but that does not seem to stop them. I have run Ad-Aware and Mal-Warrior, as well, but nothing seems to work.
A: Ad-Aware is a good spyware removal program, but it would probably be worthwhile to also try another one, such as Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org), because none of these tools finds everything.
Antivirus programs often can help. However, it is important to be careful about which of these antispyware and antivirus tools you use because some malware poses as security software but just makes the problem worse.
As a result, it's best to use well-known, reputable tools. One such free product is AVG (free.avg.com).
It's also possible that disabling applications such as ActiveX, Java and JavaScript will make the pop-ups go away.
