    Hello Everyone

    Please help if you can, the thing is i keep getting a pop-up window called ADBLASTER.INFO it starts off quite small then grows 2x2 until it is about 1/4 the size of the screen then stays for a few seconds then decreases to nothing, i can get rid of it by closing it down, but when it appears it takes priority over other windows.

    My worry is that there is someone/something has got away of getting into my pc.

    I did try to down some spybots etc but none of them downloaded correctly, also I'm not sure what to delete and what to leave alone.

    Any help much appreicated

    Hi Tuesdays

    Get Both SpyBot S&d and Adaware, read the help files
    Update them before scanning,, always scan and fix with SpyBot
    before Adaware.
    the first is contributware (no nags) and the other has a free version.
