Not surprisingly, so were all the rest of us FF users...

It takesa a week _max_ to get used to ff, do what i did for my dad, remove all visible ways to access IE, so that you have to use ff >:E

Firefox is the fix; you will always get the problem as long as you use IE and keep trying to find porn sites by typing in things like www.sex.com.

Download an anti ad program, which will fix it for a while, until it comes back bigger and harder to stop.

Or download firefox which you can make look exactly the same as IE (why the hell you'd want to is beyond me), is more user friendly and has a lot of security features.

Then again, if you can't work out why to drop IE, you don't deserve the presence of FireFox for your interweb dealings.

I got this ages ago on my old computer and it was there right the way through until i got my new computer. Dont think you can remove it.

Edit:- On IE that is.

You could, as i have yet to see any spyware that I myself haven't been able to remove (on my PC and on the PC's i have cleaned for my friends). Even the most nasty ones can be removed, just takes some time and effort in reading through the HijackThis log and finding the right things to remove from the registry. I even applied for the spyware remover spot on a other computer forum wich i was accepted to, but apparently i really CBA. to go through 50 HT logs a day.

If you can catch me tomorrow morning (ATM. i'm just too tired) i could help you remove it. Tomorrow morning would be around 8-12 AM GMT time.
