Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / December 2005Ads from Microsoft - or Adware
When I close the MSIE window in which I ran Windows Update on a Windows 2000 system, a new MSIE window opens behind it, with an advertisement for life insurance, registry cleaners, or whatever. I don't think that Microsoft is responsible for these ads, so I assume the computer is infected with Adware. I ran Lavsoft Adaware and found a few things which I deleted, after which it came up clean, but the ads still keep coming. Can anyone suggest what else I might do to exorcise the machine? - Rich Spybot S&D and do you have a working firewall? > When I close the MSIE window in which I ran Windows Update on a Windows > 2000 system, a new MSIE window opens behind it, with an advertisement [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > - Rich Spybot S&D is a good idea. About a firewall... most would interfere with PC Anywhere which we run for remote access. Any suggestions there? - Rich > Spybot S&D and do you have a working firewall? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >> - Rich I suspect that setting the firewall to allow PC Anywhere would solve the access problem. I don't make firewall vendor recommendations for businesses, if not a business you could try ZoneAlarm the free version. > Spybot S&D is a good idea.
