Lycos Sidesearch

[Arthasizcool]

now is it just me, or is there a lycos side search thingy behind the site? because lately when i come to visit this site, this sidesearch comes up on the screen. If damn annoying!

 

[Saikann]

thats odd, ive never seen such a thing.

Sounds like you have a virus that installed that sidesearch thing onto your computer

Uninstall it, and run through your computer with a few virus and spyware/adware checkers

Its adware and spyware like Mecheon said, get ad-aware or others to destroy them.

If you're familiar with your tasks running and those basic stuff download this; http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html
it can be anything else than useful when you know how to use it, it saved my life few times. I hope you won't go on pornographic websites anymore, since not everything can be destroyed with programs

usually that means that your computer has lycos sidesearch on it. just go to control panel/add and remove programs. scroll down until you find it and click remove/change (or just remove sometimes)

I recommend this one
http://www.safer-networking.org/de/mirrors/index.html

It's the most reliable and imo the best spy/ad-ware-remover (b/c the programmers were the first ones that started proggin sth against spyware)

Try this! (Scan Spyware)

I usually run this program to get rid of the stupid spywares trying to make my life a hell.
Anyway you can even search for words in ur files like "gator", "advertising", "lycos" (without quotes of course) and delete the scum. But if you don't feel like an advanced user then forget this (oh and do not delete things like naviGATOR )

Come on guys... we all know the best anti spyware/adware program is ad-aware SE. www.lavasoft.de
Its free (personal edition)
