Ad-ware/spyware or trick to remove crap 2005-04-27 - By Bernard Lebel

Thanks everyone who answered my call. I purchased AdAware. Although it
did find some stuff, the pop-ups kept popping.
However, I may have found the fucker. There is a service running called
msmsgs. Somehow as soon as I kill it, no more pop-ups. The only thing is
that the service does not tell how it got started, so it will be a
matter of killing it each time I boot.
I will look into Zonelabs stuff asap.
Alan, I am genuinely interested in what you have have posted. Could you
elaborate? I installed nLite but it requires the Windows installation
files, wich I think I don't have on my disk. Do I have to run nLite
using the Windows installation CD?
Thanks
Bernard
