Hindsight's an exact science, i know, but why didn't you just download this in the first place:

www.kazaalite.com

Install Lavasofts Ad-Aware, it should get rid of it for you.

 

Yep, i had simliar problems. Christ knows what else that damn software puts in your machine, but i had pop up ads appearing for a few days until i eventually got rid of them using Ad Ware

get the free version here http://www.lavasoft.de/

 

I Have adaware and Zone alarm but it cannot get rid of the files with -- .dll -- prefix

Thanks for the replies John

 

Probably a silly question but why can't you delete the .dll files?

Have you tried booting into safe mode and then trying to delete them? Are the .dll files you need to delete related to Kazaa or other software on your pc?

 

That's what was worrying
Have down loaded adaware and payed for it gone into safe mod then run again, seems to have done the job-- or has quarantined them.

Thanks for to all
John

 

The free version would of cleaned it up just as well.

Done it in safe mode because the .dll files were probably in use by windows/other software so couldn't delete them.

When in safe mode the .dll files in question were probably not in use so could then be deleted

Paid for Adaware you should try Spybot it picked up allot more things on my system which Adaware didn't even detect! You can download it for free

 

Damn it [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]


I thought i had got rid of the damn pop ups kazza had installed.
It seemed ok for a few days, now the damn things are back, i usually get 2 at a time popping up every few minutes [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Ad Ware does detect them and removes the offending reg keys, but somehow they seem to keep coming back.

Im going to try the Spybot thing now .....

 

Download spybot and that should sort it out!
