help: IE problem

hey jusst wonderin if i could get some help,
for the past while ive had this problem when im browsing the internet. i get a popup for Fassia - some web search thingo. it has a link which tells you how to remove it but it doesnt do the job, has anyone else had this problem - and can ya fix it

nope, are you infected by some kind of spyware maybe?

yeh could be that, but ive deleted all traces of the program i could find, its not really hurting anythin its just reall annoying and i wanna get rid of it, coz on flash sites i click a button and the browser reads it as a broken link or something and diverts to 'Fassia'. (oh yeah forgot to say, it onlygoes to this 'Fassia' site when the link is broken, page doesnt exist, or as mentioned in flash sites.)

Try using Mozilla (i prefer plain Firebird) - no problems in future...

Spybot is pretty effective at getting rid of stuff like that if you're infected.

<a href="http://www.panicware.com/product_psfree.html">free pop up blocker</a> I don't know your cause, but this is good stuff.

spy sweeper worked on mine,i had same problem with something called "free spring click" spy sweeper its free

Lavasoft's Adaware will also do the trick

now, if it is a popup coming to you as a error message, you are going to have to disable messenger service in regedit....

sp2 will apparently already fix this

There's quite a few of these hijackers about...at least this one only kicks in when you have site not found situation. Running Spybot -Search and Destroy will get rid of it - you can get it at http://www.download.com. Incidentally, I've found the Google toolbar is great for eliminating pop-ups generally.

here is an article on removing this problem http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/AutoSearch.html
