Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / December 2007repeated pop-up
I am getting a repeated pop-up on my computer. It only says "Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving." Its URL is 66.179.234.173/images/d.html I've tried scaning my computer for ad-ware, but i am still getting this pop-up. I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to get rid of this. Remove the URL from your HOSTS file >I am getting a repeated pop-up on my computer. It only says "Buzzed Driving > is Drunk Driving." [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > pop-up.

I've tried SUPERAntiSpyware as well and it seemed to be working firs (for about 5 hours), but just a while ago it started to come up again... The HOSTS method won't solve the problem because it's definitely som sort of Trojan or something... Need to get rid of whatever that's doing this ****. FYI --> http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm I desperately need help on this too... breezyyb;3029817 Wrote: > and how would a person go about doing that? i get the same pop-up > ALL the time! thanks [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > of > this. - -- foobar I am getting the same thing, it is driving me nuts. Does anyone have a solution? I am also getting some others as well about NBABlogs, NascarBlogs, and then this one just came up.. http://www.stop-sign.com/se/se339b.php?n=s_aj_popp_popp&kw=aj_popp_popp_2145_662 _se_pop_up&b=%26qq_findology&pg=%26se_spin&ver=online I've tried Avast AdAware SUPERAntiSpyware Spybot And none have fixed it. If you know of a fix please let me know. No update, nothing new, but as far as what I'm getting so far, it seems to be wise (and I really mean it) to reinstall the Windows rather than messing up with registries and all that. I mean, my system is now getting extremely unstable and I don't think I'll be getting any reward for putting my effort. Combining nLite, DriverMax, and some others should make you happier with less cost. What a nice timing, we now have XP SP3 RC to update anyway. I'm out of this. Just can't stand it any more.  Signaturefoobar Not what I'd hoped to hear, I posted the same issue on a forum called Geekstogo earlier today and haven't had a response yet. One of my local friends who is PC savvy said it's hidden deep in the machine for sure. Another suggested a reformat aswell so it's not looking good. I just don't get how a little pop-up bug is so hard to fix for someone who knows their stuff. I would assume once some more people get infected a solution will have to be made. For now I am kind of stuck I guess. Hey, CoreyD. Yeah, I've checked the Geekstogo and seemed very promising, but I just don't have enough patience, and besides, my PC is getting messed up anyway so I thought it'd be a good idea to reinstall it again. Hope yours get fixed soon. Good luck! Signaturefoobar Well it seems fixed thanks to a more computer savvy person than myself. No one ever responded on Geeks to Go, so that was a bust but oh well. He installed and ran the following programs per some directions he found on another forum. Fiwwareout.exe Otmoveit.exe Combofix.exe Haxfix.exe Not sure the other he did it but it seemed to work. Good luck. Do you have a link for the directions? > Well it seems fixed thanks to a more computer savvy person than myself. No > one ever responded on Geeks to Go, so that was a bust but oh well.
