Computer Problems.... Ask here. (Page 2)

Hi guys

My computer also have same kind of problem and I get Advertise keep coming on my computer. These Advertise are websites of dirty people.

Please give me a solution

I can give you a few pointers on this.

First and foremost download Spybot Search & Destroy from here.

If you're using Spybot for the first time.... here's a very good tutorial.

Next up perform an Update in Spybot to make sure you've the latest updates.

• Open Spybot-S&D
• Click on 'Update' in the navigation bar
• Search for available updates
• Select all available relevant updates
• Select a download location
• Download the selected updates
• If you receive a Bad Checksum!! error select another download server

Next Run an Online Virus Scanner

• eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner Requires Internet Explorer. (If prompted on that page, allow Active X and the install of software - this is needed to scan your system)
  It may take a while to download the updates needed, and then you will be presented with a screen to scan your system.

• Trend Micro Online Scan Does not produce log, useful for a second scan.

Reboot your computer into SafeMode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, begin tapping F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Open Spybot-S&D while still in safe mode.

1. Close all browsers, check for problems and fix everything found in red
2. Repeat until no more items are found in red

Then post back if you have more problems.

Hi Abha,

First things first.... please and I repeat please avoid typing in ALL CAPS... on the internet people do that only when you want to show that you are screaming on the person you are referring to. secondly avoid posting images in Bitmap (the .bmp extension) they take a lot of bandwidth causing people on dial-ups to choke on them... instead convert your images to jpg or gif and then upload them.


Ok now the preaching is over and over to your solution....   First what do you mean by


secondly did this start recently (like after you installed an app or made changes in your OS or installed an update etc) or this has always been the case.

I suggest you first update your Windows / Office with the latest security updates. to do so, go to
Windows Update or if you use Vista from here.

Then download Office updates from here.
Office Update

It will take sum time but download all the latest updates and install them.

then try going through the same process again... post here again if its repeated.

Because of this problem, I use MSN Explorer. Is there a Solution for this problem.

Please reply
Thanks for your corporation.

hi tejas,

thanks for helping me solve that problem

however i have another problem:

when i try to go on a post on india forums it takes atleast 5 minutes for the page to load. when i go to the threads, theres no problem, but the posts take a long time to load. i dont seem to have a problem with any other site, but it happens only on this site

i dont know why this happens, especially since it takes longer for the page to load than when i used to use dial up...

i also have a problem with cookies on this site. when i try to log in on this site, the page shows an unsuccessful login and it says that i need to enable cookies on my web browser. how do i do this?

i know i'm burying u with my problems one after another, but i tried everything i could do, thats why i'm asking u for help...

anyways, thanks for solving everybody's computer problems. u really are a great help
