I have unwanted programs running in my Task Manager!!! HELP!?

Question

They will just start running out of no where....nothing pops up on my screen, but i can hear it in my speakers...like a commercial is playing...so i go to task manager...and there is three or four weird programs running. I close them out, and about five mins later, they start running again. Is there something i can run on my comp to get rid of this stuff?

Its free. Fact is I don't even use an anti-virus since it works so well.

It's really easy to use.

Stay away from certain web sites......and never install anything your unsure of.

Cheers :)

It sounds like you have some adware on your computer.

Go to this link http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2008/30...

Download and install the software there.

The program, when run, will scan your computer for any harmful programs and stop the from bothering you.

Answer 5

Its better to buy a virus protection program.

The ones that are free don't help.

Kaspersky is GREAT!!! Its expires in 1 year and it's 70 dollars but trust me its worth it.

Answer 8

Your pc may be infected with spyware or adware. Download AVG free version and scan your pc,  for a start just to see if this gets rid of the problem. Many paid for anti virus programs do not have the capabilities to get rid of spyware or adware efficiently.

Because that most software has automatically function. When you go to the system they would automatically run in the background. So it will also cause unnecessary troubles. There is so much software when you start your PC that the speed will slow down and they can impact of your normal use. We can tell you some simple methods to clear them.

Method 1   You can find start-up under options in settings and check close. It is difficult to close one by one, once automatic operation programs are too many.

Method 2   You can clean automatic operation programs by manual operation. They are in “run” option of the registry and start menu. Find and clean them.

Method 3   If you think the above two methods are not suitable for you. You only clean Start up by professional software. Of course, it is the simplest way. It invisibly saves a lot of energy and time.You can click the website http://computer-optimize.com/  to find the satisfied software

I wish my solution could help you.

Good luck
