Every time I go on the internet numerous pop ups appear. And so i run AVG and delete close to 50 cookies that are claimed to be adware and a couple of trojan viruses. After I delete these or move them into the virus vault I change my security settings to do not accept cookies. But in about an hours time im back where i started.

Is there any programs apart from AVG that can stop these problems for good?

If not what is the next best thing?

  3. Your registry is infected, mate! After you do a in-depth system scan and clean with your antivirus software, you need to reset your internet security settings in Tools>inetrnet options>security, privacy, etc....

  4. If you are using internet explorer just go to preferences and check the box where it blocks the pop ups.

    I've been using mozilla firefox for a long time now and i added the adblockplus program that works great blocking advertisement and pop ups, i strongly recommend you use that one, it crashes less than ie and is faster. You can download it for free.

  5. Always keep your windows updated. AVG is a good anti-virus. You can download security tools at www.filehippo.com for free. If it doesn't work, try reformatting.
