From: Rhonda Lea Kirk Fries on 4 Sep 2009 11:14 One of the posters on a skydiving site I frequent is having a pop-up problem (but only on the skydiving site). The first pop-up he received said "welcome to sophalo.com." Of course, sophalo.com doesn't exist. Now he's getting this page: hxxp://shop2.forless.com/?pid=559&keywords=skydive No one else on the site has admitted to having a problem, so I suggested he try MBAM. No joy. He is, even as we speak, trying SAS, and I told him I would ask around about his problem in the meantime. I did some googling, and the two most interesting threads are these: http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windowsxp/266392/Pop-Ups http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windowsxp/266392/Pop-Ups I was hoping someone here might have some helpful input, and if so, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks much. -- Rhonda Lea Kirk Fries The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously. Hubert H. Humphrey

Thanks much. You might want to also try using Adaware if SAS doesn't find anything. http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php (choose Adaware free download) Since the pop-up appears to be a form of adware, the malware removers may not target it.

I don't use it, but I note that quite a lot of people still do. Thanks for the suggestion. > Since the pop-up appears to be a form of adware, the malware removers > may not target it. That makes sense. I have a feeling I'm going to regret trying to being helpful in this instance, but it won't be the first time.
