Okay this is the 4th time trying to write this... I have this annoying pop up that will even come up when im in the middle of doing something and make the web page I was on disapear (along with anything I had done on it). the address that pops up is http://www.pwned.freehomepage.com/kk.html and it tries to download something.... I have tried everything and anything I know to get it to go away...and nothing is working.... sorry if this dosnt help much but Im having to write this as fast as I can...thanx

I think a spy-removing program and/or an antivirus program will help you. There are many spy removing programs. One of the most common is adaware: http://www.ada-ware.com/ It will probably find a lot of cookies, but don't worry about those really. What you should worry about is hidden programs running in the background. Adaware will find most of those hidden programs.

I went to the address you gave and immediately McAfee VirusScan Alert came up with something called JS/Keylog-Briss.ldr I found some details about it at http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_126197.htm Be careful people if your definitions are not up to date Sorry photoboy1982 this doesn't help your quest but you must have a virus/spyware

Just a point worth noting - the excellent program: Ad-Aware can be found at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ The program mentioned by Ferc, ada-ware is a ringer, exploiting the name of the original. Anti-Spyware products are big business these days, and some are either ineffective or actually load malware onto your machine. Please - try and be discerning.

Ad-Aware Professional (purchase version) From Lavasoft.de is an excellent software which comes with a good pop up blocker (Ad watch). You can try the free version of Ad aware there. Alternative free and simple one : Spybot (found at download.com)
