Popups = Spyware
Go to download.com and download spybot s&d, ad-aware SE and spyware blaster.
Then go here http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4372.html and download the
winsockfix (might be needed later)
Install them all, update the definitions on all three, run spyware blaster
Then boot into safe mode (hold F8 during booting and choose safe mode)
Then run spybot followed by ad-aware.
While still in safe mode browse to C:\windows\prefetch and delete all files 
Then go Start>Run and type in %temp% delete all files in the window that
pops up.
Then empty your recycle bin and reboot.
If she has a problem getting online the run the winsockfix downloaded
earlier.
That should get rid of 98% of the spyware on the machine
If she still has problems post back here as the are other ways to remove
stubborn spyware

Hi everyone,
I have a friend who got a new computer recently. She uses DSL and has  
windows XP home edition. She is having a lot of problems with popups. I seem
to 
recall there is some way to stop them other than using a popup blocker. Any
ideas 
or thoughts would be appreciated

Cindy
