i just got a weird sport icon on my desktop.

so earlier, i was refreshing the main page of yahoo to see who won.... all of a sudden there was a popup and i closed it.. after posting and browsing a few topics, i decide that it's time to go to sleep. i close all my programs and see that there is a new sport icon on my desktop!

how does that work? the icon just automatically gets on my desktop! i didn't even click on anything on the popup either. sites can really store things onto your computer?


hmmmmmmmmmm

?

Run Ad-Aware[=http//www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/]Ad-Aware. It's probably spyware you picked up somewhere.

Firefox[=http//www.getfirefox.com]Firefox is always good against pop ups and everything else

Also I have found that spy-bot search & destroy picks up many things ad-aware leaves behind.

I always use both programs when I clean a machine.

what do you guys think of the new Microsoft anti-spyware program.

i use it too, it is actually pretty good,

I've discovered that Webroot SpySweeper finds even MORE stuff, but you have to pay for it. (

thanks guys.
actually, i went to remove some programs when i saw it installed.

i do not have the slightest clue as to how it was installed!

i seriously need an anti virus protection.
