I really need help can't concentrate well...

What's in those ads anyways like "you won this click to claim" whats usually inside that ad? And what will you get after you visited that site without even exiting it?? If the effect is so severe will your anti virus detect it? Or will that computer disease hide so that It can't be detected? Man those things are scary..I'm not doing this again..

google Spywareblaster & Spybot Search & Destroy both free & good. Also CCleaner (free)



Keep these programs updated & run them weekly as well as your antispyware or run them after clicking a link like you did. Also keep your Windows updates up to date & use a firewall. AntiVirus does not always detect spyware or trojans but doing the above will help you and get rid of anything you may have accidentally downloaded. With the above programs and using caution on links & websites & e-mails you do not need to buy antispyware. Never have after 5 yrs and no problems at all.

I think Noobie22, You are ok. whatwhere is right. A good spyware is very important.
Spybot and Adaware are both free and very good tools. You can get both downloads at www.download.com and also a nother free program is cCleaner , also at www.download.com.
Just make sure you keep your computer clean.

wow quite impressed many people are replying so quick!!! thanks guys!

I've used this and McAfee Suite for years, and always get notification whenever I click on a site where there's any sort of adware or even annoying cookie potential. Both programs run at bootup and so can scan registry items and basically keep my PC pretty clean. McAfee Site Advisor is pretty new, and I use that too as it shows RED if a site is spooky at all. Regular full scans with a good program are at least good for my peace of mind.
Try the free ones recommended here and you'll see what works best for you. There's so many protection/cleaner programs available that I don't know where to start.
Have fun. Don't worry!

Well I use adblock plus and mozilla and McAfee site advisor maybe lessen the chances of getting hit?

@MySecret wow so many ad ons that will help alot thanks feeling much better.



Ok this is the final thing If I click an ad by mistake and closed it immediately and looked at the cookies and there's no cookie of that site what so ever Im I considered clean? Or even If I close it Immediately I'm still caught?

thanks for the set up will be downloading it..!! thanks!

You are welcome


Yes you can still be caught but very slim chance.

**Use FF 2.0.3 newest version.....set FF to always ask you where to save files and have a special download folder on your desktop. Only select to download to that folder. By making FF ask where to download anything...even a jpg gives you the opportunity to stop any download you are not sure of. The extra time it takes...just a few extra secs is worth it.

All of the things I mentioned has kept my computer spotlessly clean for years

It's My Secret

I just don't click on any ads at all. Then I don't have to worry or wonder what virus's/trojan's/malware or crap might get on my computer. And FF w/the extensions or add-ons that were mentioned in previous posts is really what you want to be using anyway. Beats the heck out of IE or any other browser.

Try this...go toWWW Link...download McAfee SiteAdviser. It's free and it sits on the bottom of your task bar. It has three colors...green means the site is safe...yellow means use caution and red means stay away!
If I see it turn red I exit that site real quick, don't even bother surfing it. It works and is a good starting point. Software mentioned happens to be among the best there is. I have all but spyware doctor. Spyware Blaster I use instead because it runs every day precisely a 6am. Many times it caught what others did not. It can even remove them. As far as effects go...they can make your computer do the strangest things. Windows open up on their own and start dancing around the screen and flashing...if you close them another takes it's place...and those are the mild ones. Best advice...if you're not sure about something...LEAVE IT ALONE!

Is there a program that eliminates a virus/trojan/malware/spyware permanently and a freeware, easy to configure?(aside from spybot search and destroy) I hate those kind of viruses that eats your hard drives space!! it's so annoying.

YES

Thanks thanks and thanks!!
