About the Ads
Due to the overwhelming load of bad ads that the other ad companies have been delivering to us, I have reverted the site back to using only google ads. While not having the diversity of multiple ad companies might hurt us in the short term, I am worried about that harm that the pop-ups, redirects, and other bad things that the other ad companies have been doing will affect us worse in the long term.

	I triple things up here with Adaware, Spybot S&D, and ATF cleaner to purge any spyware that's wedged itself into my Prefetch. (Which has accounted for a lot of reinfections for me here.) It can take a while to be sure everything's gone but it's a hell of a lot better than selling Best Buy your firstborn ~~to let them look at all your pr0nz~~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

right now i have avg (i used adaware and it didn't run correctly with s&d), spybot s&d, superantispyware, online armor firewall, and a few anti-malware/cleaners/etc. that i downloaded to get rid of this. i am afraid to uninstall now because i don't want to have to do everything again if i get another spware. D: how do i find out if anything has wedged into my prefetch? i fixed mine myself within two days, but i want to make sure everything is a-okay now.

	The fastest and easiest way is just to run ATF cleaner & have it clean out everything. Otherwise you're gonna end up searching for program names out of the process tree, which takes a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where can you get ATF cleaner? I hate looking through the registry for stuff that leaves traces or just refuses to go away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
