my web browser keeps popping up stuff from junk sites and some p0rn type stuff. how do I clear this up. my virus scan doesn't see adware or spyware. how do I clear it?

everytime when I pull up a site some ad screen pops up. it's my company laptop and i'm reluctant to tell them I have this problem.

i did accidently click on this strange link that someone sent me on MSN messenger saying i had a photo on the internets or something like that.

do you have spybot/adaware + virus scan or just virus scan?

have you tried running then in safe mode?

[Edited on June 23, 2007 at 3:33 PM. Reason : and get ccleaner also]

6/23/2007 7:13:40 PM

wait a sec...

didnt you just post a "How do I change IP address on a Linux Server" thread?

and now you got porn popups on your IE, you cant figure out how to get rid of?

what kind of company do you work for, and what position do you hold?

seriously, i wanna know.

Cisco Systems - Cisco Voice Engineer / SE . . . btw: go fuck yourself buddy.

i owned my first PC with this job, prior to that I used macs for 10 years and the 1st time I ever dealt with linux is on the last server I implemented. forgive me for not being a computer nerd.

honestly sometimes I think the only reason Cisco hired me was to be a faceman. you know the attractive, young networking guy with the Prada sneakers and the Armani linen, that's good socially and does some pre-sales work some engineering and some design stuff . . .


honestly my passion is in film and the arts. IT just pays the bills and affords me the ability to work from home 70% of the time. AGAIN - GO fuck yourself buddy.

yeah, is that right?

what color and weight are your custom-ordered business cards? i'll bet they're pretty fine.

6/24/2007 9:40:50 PM

actually we just got new ones with pictures. sorta like realtors. go figure.

6/24/2007 9:45:12 PM

^Which Cisco campus are you based at?

6/24/2007 9:49:50 PM

company supplied cards with photos??? thats so weak. what are you, some kind amateur?

jesus dude, if you're really as baller as you try to make everyone you are, you'd cough up for some custom cards

raised-lettering, preferably Romillian or Cillian type face. Get a solid paper thickness, with a tasteful bone or eggshell coloring. and dont skimp, get the fucking watermark.

i cant believe i'm having to spell this out for you.

6/24/2007 10:01:21 PM

it's not uniformity. my guys have the same cards.

6/24/2007 10:18:19 PM

Adware didn't work. shit keeps coming back. it says it cleans it, but it doesn't.

Oh god, this is rich. It's like, this guy posts shit trying to outdo himself. He probably gets this big giddy grin as he types it. Clicks post reply, then goes back and re-reads what he wrote and marvels at it like it is some sort of work of art or something. I'd like to know what job at Cisco they have that requires "some pre-sales work some engineering and some design" stuff.

it's called being a Systems Engineer. dude, stop being a fucker (no homo). seriously, G. it's not becoming.

6/24/2007 10:57:26 PM

oh, i see.

pretty face + fine shirts + baller shoes = systems engineer

thanks for clearing that up. i always wondered what systems engineers did.

6/25/2007 12:20:13 AM

sorta sad, but true ... ^

6/25/2007 9:31:08 PM

6/25/2007 10:51:20 PM
