Another you should do is:
Start > Control Panel > Add /Remove program
Look for anything that looks out of place. If you ain't sure, run a search on the web regarding the concerned program and you'll find out if you need to remove or keep
Hope that helps

Have you installed the Flash player? If not, why not? Or, is it just asking to run it? If so, then lower your security settings.

While visiting other sites on the internet, you likely picked up some spyware or adware. This is what is likely causing the advertisement pop-ups. You should install a copy of Adaware and update/run it each week. It will do wonders. Oh, and dump AOhell.

We aren't using any pop ups, so it should be some form of spyware or Flash prompt you are getting.

Well it appears my homepage was hijacked and I had several or should I say an As# load of spyware on my computer. Since then I have fixed everything but I still get an Install program(Macro Media) from this site only but my Virus detection say not to download KK Is this program safe? With all the problems I have recently I am a little cautious so if anyone has already downloaded and had no problems please chime in.
Thanks and again sorry for thinking it was this site I should have known better.
