get something like Ad-aware. I am not sure which one is the best (I use Ad-aware). you can get Ad-aware (the free version) at: |

sorry that was wrong... the free version is the "personal version"... |

I use ad-aware alone doesn't get all of them, you usually have to use 2 different scans. I use ad-aware and spy-bot Also google toolbar is great for blocking pop ups from web pages and it is very minimalistic |

yeah I agree on that. although I have no problems with spyware at the moment (that I know of... damn bastards!) but I have some other software that I run from now and then. |

I haven't really seen pop-ups actually come out of no-where, but the fact that there is stuff installed without me knowing about it gets me pissed off. Also, don't install any of AIM's new 'games' that it comes with, Wild Tangent installs spyware onto your computer, and also even though I wiped all that shit off my hard-drive, there is still a 'Wild Tangent' thing in my control panel. Anyone know how to get rid of this? |

here's what GoldenGameGod saids about your problem, and how to solve it: Follow these instructions in order, else bad things happen. 1. Close AIM 2. Open my computer and navigate to the folder \Program Files\AIM 3. Delete the file AIMWDInstall 4. Navigate to the folder \Program Files\AIM\Sysfiles 5. Delete the file AIMWDInstall (do not delete AIMWDUninstall) 6. Open add/remove programs in the control panel 7. Uninstall WildTangent multiplayer library 8. Uninstall WildTangent Web Driver 9. Uninstall WildTangent Updater 10. Restart the computer (make sure AIM is not set to start with Windows) 11. Navigate to the folder C:\Program Files 12. Delete the WildTangent folder 13. Navigate to the folder C:\WINDOWS 14. Delete the wt folder 15. Open start/run and type regedit 16. Delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WildTangent 17. Add the domain wildtangent.com to the IE restricted sites zone (even if you don’t use IE) 18. If this is the only user account on this PC you’re done, if not keep reading 19. Open regedit again HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion 20. Navigate to the key \Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains 21. Right click on it and hit export 22. Type a name for the file and save it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents or any other place that all accounts can access 23. Log into each account, double click on the file, and hit yes in the box that appears 24. You’re done (this continiues in next post) |

(continiue:) For those of you running Sun Java, you must take extra steps to eradicate WildTangent. 1. Navigate to the folder where you installed java (default is something like C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03) 2. Open the \bin folder 3. Delete the file jDRM0302.dll 4. Delete the file wtdmmp.dll 5. Delete the file wtdmmpv.dll 6. Go back to the java install folder 7. Open the \lib\ext folder 8. Delete the file wildtangent.jar (duh, how the hell could both Spybot SD and Ad-aware miss this???) 9. Delete the file wtdmmpi.jar 10. Delete the file DRM0302Java.jar 11. Your done, that is until they decide to ‘update’ You can find that post at: |

cool, I also found to get rid of the control panel thing you can search for 'wt.cpl, wtc.cpl, or wtcpl.cpl', and delete that. |
