anti-adware programs that contain adware? by FABIO 08/25/2004, 1:46pm PDT
Ever since I've installed and run spybot search & destroy and CWshredder, my browser hijack has gone away, but now I'm getting popups all over the place, even on sites that don't have them (like this one!). Three updates after the problem started, and no program says I have any major adware programs on my computer. A few were detected and deleted, but the popups remain.

Is Spybots price of being free forcing you to view more popup ads?
