... Not really, but some "strange" things are happening. You see, we had an emergency at the family, my mom had a blood clut in a vari-cose vein (forgive any possible spelling errors) so she couldn't wait more than a few hours(I'll start a new thread on this soon enough); we went to the hospital, and my bro, my "MATURE" bro was left home. We had to spend the night at the hospital, well guess what happened when we came home:
Broken window in the kitchen, glass all over the floor, alchol beverages opened, car door broken, a mess, bad smells, un attended dog, windows opened (and it was cold!), and we find my bro, as if he had had the time of his life. And now for the "strange" things: I go on the comp, and my netscape says we have 2887 pop-ups blocked when we only had around 2400, hmmmmmmm. And now there are pop-up beginning to come through of pornagraphic sites, coincedence isn't it? And adds that I'm being spied on? And worse yet, this is my dad's comp, his working comp, so if he sees this, I'm in deep do-do. I checked our bandwith, and we used to get about 415 on this 512, and now were getting about half that, and my dad cannot work with that, so if you people can help me get something for the adds and the spyware, I would appreciate it, oh and btw, add aware and spy bot show nothing. Thank you, and please forgive my gramatic errors, since I know I have many. Thank you!

I think maybe SpyBot Search and Destroy or so...

He's already tried it. Afraid I don't know how to help you if Adaware and Spybot aren't picking anything up.

What about reformatting? :p

Also, are your verisons of Adaware and Spybot up-to-date? Or are they so old they're useless?

Have you tried HijackThis? That found everything AdAware and Spybot didn't on my comp.

If you havn't, use their forums for help, HijackThis can be very harmful if you get click-happy after running it. The people in their forums will tell you what to do to clean it up.
HijackThis Download
It should come with some detailed Docs on how to use it and where to go for support.

Yes, I have it, but everything seems normal. I'll do another check out, thanks.

Wait, why would you be in trouble if its your brother that ******* it up?

Anyways, if Spybot and ad-aware don't find anything, then maybe try scanning for viruses?

AGV has never served me wrong when adaware and spybot failed. I'd suggest running the free version after you've updated it, and just let it sit for 3 or so hours. You'll be spick-and-span in no time.

what's stopping you?

I guess most people don't read posts. It's his dad's work comp.

Try scanning for virii and running every ad/spyware program you can possibly find. You know, same as the other suggestions :)
