from porn sites.. It just started a bout 4 days ago. I dont know where they came from. It like they are always advertising to get them off after they come.. Does anyone know what I can do.. My DH is about ready to redo our hard drive and see if we can get this off.. Can anyone tell me where they came from.. All I know is one day after search for free chore charts.. They started coming..We limit out searchs because of not wanting to get virus.. Is this a virus.? My DH has tried everything so far. We have tried deleting cookies, and trying to find where is this coming from in computer.. What ever this is it always resets our home page to seach space .com...


Any help is greatly appreiated.. I am so offended by things that keep poping up at unexpected times...

thanks

I'm not sure what's all going on - I"m no computer expert myself, but we use the Google toolbar to help eliminate pop-ups and so far it's been working.

Evemary,

Install Spybot, which you can get here http://www.safer-networking.org/

It's a wodnerful program and will rid your computer of all the unwanted nasties that you pick up from the internet.
