The thing is, I thought I put a stop to this nonsense by setting my pop up blocker to its highest level, but it still got through. Any other suggestions to block these things?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598602.page GMT Narrow escape from Malware ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598608.page GMT Narrow escape from Malware

You can also get Avast, which is an anti-virus program (you just need the free version).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598618.page GMT Narrow escape from Malware

I'm using Norton Anti-virus]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598620.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598620.page GMT Narrow escape from Malware
Get hold of Spybot (as Silver mentions). I also run Lavasoft Ad-aware (the free version) as well as Avira AV (which is also free). They all have a 'real-time' scan function that should stop the majority of nasties (unless you have a habit of visiting the most dodgy sites).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598635.page GMT Narrow escape from Malware ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598678.page GMT Re:Narrow escape from Malware Ad-Aware and Spybot are good, but I use Malwarebytes which I find is a better product (and free like the others).

They all have their overhead - tis the price one pays. My current set-up has 12GB RAM so I don't notice it much ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356043/2598896.page GMT Narrow escape from Malware
