Scoobynet has recently started spawning pop up advert windows.....is this my PC which has been touched by the hand of satan or is it a Scoobynet Advertising Policy?

Just want to know one way or the other!

I think I may have had one but I am so into the habit of 'X'ing these down or closing them before looking at them I never notice them anyway.

I've not had any pop ups from ScoobyNet and AFIAK it's still on ly the banner adds.

I have asked Simon to confirm this when he gets chance.

Have you installed a peer-to-peer client - e.g. kazaa - recently?

This shows what I most use my browser for

Sorry for blaming Scoobynet........but does ANYONE know how to stop the pop-ups now....the AG client is not running, so it's either set up a IE object or is running a script somewhere called from the REG or something........

anyone.......

LOL David, that would be the obvious smart@rse answer

It's a hacked version to remove all the Adware cr@p. You can find it here Kazaa Lite

Get Popup Killer or something similar.

Don't use AG, Kazaa, Bearshare, etc.. or if you need/want to use Kazaa Lite instead.

You could also try using Ad-Ware
