Nick Trollope Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 HELP!!I keep getting pop-ups from "fr.winfixer.com" - telling me I have registry errors & asking me to pay $34.95 to fix them. Regardless of whether I have registry errors or not, I don't want to use these twats to fix it.How the hell can I stop the pop-ups (my pop-up blockers don't see them). I have emptied my cookie file & the temporary files & the IE history.Using XP SP2, IE6, Wanadoo ADSLHelp!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babnik Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Have you tried running something like AdAware or Spybot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesLauriers Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have had this on IE6 but do not get it on Firefox, now might be the time to change to Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babnik Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I also have moved to Firefox, and would never go back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deimos Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 There is a lot of phoney “spyware” checkers around these days. Given that there are some good free ones, why pay for something that is a bit doubtful.The web site http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm discusses and lists a lot of the phoney/fraudulent stuff.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
