Crap! I think my computer got bugged. I'm getting about two pop-ups ever fifteen minutes. How do I fix it?

I went through the system files and looked for odd programs and found on called 'pup.exe' that was created today somehow. I moved it to a 'suspicous programs' folder and hopefully that will break it because of the odd directory.

I souldn't be so worried but
i had heard that there's bugs that track where you go for marketing purposes and I hate capitalism. What are advertizers thinking? I rarely get influenced my ads. If anything they turn me off to products.

It's Ebay that's appearing on the pop-ups. I can't believe that such a big, influentual corperation would stoop that low. It's lost any business it would have gotten from me.

{edit}

AH-Ha! HERE'S the freaking weazles buggin my machine! SEND HATEMAIL! BUG THEM BACK! BURN DOWN THEIR STINKING BRITTISH HEADQUARTERS!
Ahem, I'm done. Actually, I'm not quite sure if it's them or not.

{more edit}

I just deleted the pup.exe program. Hopefully it wasn't anything too important.

I think I got it because I was trying to get into a prowrestling site and it redirected my to some site about ashanti and gave me thousands of popups.

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE STILL ALIVE??? IS THERE NO JUSTICE?????

I downloaded andy's little stinger thingy. Hope this works.

*sniff* it didn't work. My new laptop's ruined.

Corporate bastards.

[edit]

Sorry, I guess Jesus would've been forgiving and all. I'm sorry. What they did to me was wrong, but... 'love your enemies'.

Even when they're cowards and you'll never have the chance to face them.

{edit}

Wait, I did some more stuff and they might be gone now...

{edit}

They aren't. They pop up every thirty minutes.

Oh well. I've forgiven them (thanks Jesus). It doesn't make what they did right, but I'm not going to get mad and embittered about it and seek revenge and all that comes with being an angry person. In fact, I love them and hope they find out about Jesus themselves.

Man, spelling errors galor. Sorry.

Get Norton anti-virus.

Sounds like spyware now that I think about it, Kyle. The anti-virus programs won't help at all.

Get AdAware. It'll get rid of all spyware on your computer so those popups will leave you alone. Run it every two weeks or at least once a month and you'll be good.
