Right Spyware S&D found and fixed 71 problems, and I thought it had sorted it, but opened another firefox browser put a site in and then again media.travelzoo.com pops up, why isnt it finding it, is there a manual way to get rid of the bugger?

 

[UncleGrumpy]

Spybot's kept stuff out of my system, no matter how many dodgy free pron sites i visit.

 

[ChrisR]

what processes are running on your machine? Anything out of the ordinary?

 

[unofficialPete]

See if this zoo thing is in Add/Remove programmes...

 

[M1TCH]

^ ill check that cheers.

theres 55 processes running which I think is mad, and as its brand new and my 1 year old dell only has 41 standard. I cant see anything out of the ordinary, I checked some I didnt know on processlibrary.com and a lot were windows ones I havent got cos mine isnt media centre I think but it is quite slow to start up but always has been.

63/500, lol at least your honest about the sites you visit!

nout in there to blame...

I dunno what to do, if these spyware programs cant find it, what do i do?

 

[FiDoDiDo]

According to the site I've just been on (http://www.pestpatrol.com/spywarecenter/pest.aspx?id=453074316) it's only a tracking cookie which isn't anything to write home about if it's TravelZoo.

 

[M1TCH]

yeah these spyware killers, find a load of tracking cookies, delete them. but after we are still getting the same pop ups.
