Help, i need help with adware - seekmo?

Question

the problem is pop ups are appearing here there and everywhere despite popup blocker being on. computer running slow. certain websites are being blocked e.g. anything to do with security so i can't rescan. parts of mcafee security system has been disabled and i can't get it fully working. restore points have disappeared.

after trying various things i believe the problem to be seekmo. not sure though. i clicked on uninstall but none of the problems have been resolved. i believe it may be hiding in the background still....

does anyone know how to fix this? i'm all out of ideas at the moment. please help.

Answer 3

Pop-up blockers dont block adverts.

First goto add/remove programs and uninstall your free browser add-on toolbars but not google or yahoo because most of them are spyware and installs adware, next run an anti-spyware program like spybot or ad-aware
