I have Adaware, Spybot & Spysweeper on my machine and a very annoying pop-up keeps appearing :

xadso : offeroptimiser

It's doing my head in - how do I get rid of it?

 

I've always found a firewall usually stops the pop ups?

Zonealarm being my weapon of choice.

Stand to be corrected

 

Have a read of this.

Plenty of instructions in there....good luck

Myk, whilst a firewall may stop the popups, it won't remove the already installed Trojan so in this instance would be case of shutting the doors after horse has bolted

 

ye need a software called hijack this

 

I'm running windows firewall that came with XP SP2. Problem didn't occur until that was installed.

 

another vote for "hijack this" - used it yesterday to get rid of a nasty trojan that took over the IE home page.....

Worked a treat
