Re: Adware....
Do you have administrative rights to your computer? perhaps someone with admin rights installed spyware and you do not have the permissions to remove them?

Re: Adware....
I have no idea what that means....but I bought the computer and I think that gives me the right to hate anybody who installes adware on it.

Re: Adware....

Re: Adware....
I have recently and it did not help, although as of now, the icons have seemed to disappear. Hopefully they will remain gone. As for another question, now my home page keeps changing intself to the same stupid website the icons were for.

How do I uninstall one of your software products?
There are several methods available to you should you wish to uninstall any of our software products you had previously chosen to install:
- You can go to your Start Menu--Control Panel, then choose the 'Add / Remove Programs' option. Depending on which version of the software you have installed locate 'Lop.com' or 'LOP SEARCH' or 'Window Searching' or ?'Window Active' or "Browser Enhancer" or "Ultimate Browser Enhancer" or "Search Plugin" from the menu to run the uninstaller.
- Depending on your version You may also be able to locate a globe type icon in the bottom right hand corner of your screen (near the clock), right click on it then click Menu. From the main menu you will see a help button on the top right hand corner. Click the help button then choose 'uninstall'.
- Additionally a separate universal uninstall program may be downloaded here
- If you are still having problems please email support@lop.com for assistance.

McAfee blows... Norton blows.... Panda blows... They all blow.... The only good virus scanner Ive ever had is a free one called AVG (can you believe it)? A free virus scanner is better at catching stupid shit that McAfee and Norton miss... How pathetic is that? haha. Get AVG.

get mcafee virus scan. it works.

That program made our computer screw up all the time and made it run really super slow.
We now have zonealarm which I am very pleased with. I think it works really good.
You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
That you care for me but that you're just not in love

Re: Adware....
Zone alarm is a firewall, not a virus scanner. Viruses still pass through firewalls. You are not protected then Arielle
AVG, McAfee, Norton, Fprot, PC Cillin
They all have their good points, and bad.
They all have DIFFERENT virus definitions, and while some may pick up viruses that the big ones (norton and mcafee) don't, they are not 'the ultimate' and do miss some that the larger ones DO pick up (trust me, AVG is ok, not too great, but you get what you pay for.... i installed Norton after a long 5 month try of AVG and it picked up 92 viruses (all dorment because I know what goes on my system) that AVG did not pick up when i scanned the entire computer including inside compressed files.
