Default CL pop-ups?

I've noticed lately that I have been getting automotive type po-up ads while browsing CL. This happens while I only have this one Iexplorer window open, so I am assuming that it is from CL. Is this from CL, and if so, what's the deal with this?

ClubLexus does not have any pop-up advertisments, they are from another source. Like JPA said, run the freeware ad-aware on your PC to clean the nasty sneaky advertising stuff that gets loaded elsewhere.

Thanks, I didn't think so, but I don't download stuff from the net and don't remember saying yes to anything. Jeesh, they are sneaky. It was a funny coincidence that while browsing CL, it was all car related stuff too.

Spyware will see your at a car related site and pop all that junk up. If you have Kazaa, they install a TON of crap on your PC

Yeah, I did a seach and made the connection to Kazaa. I tried the unisntaller program for the adware, but it said it could affect Kazaa working. Does anyone know if Kazaa will still work or not after deleting the adware?

i found programs call SaveNow and WhenUxxx?

No it won't work if you delete that stuff.

The first time I got Kazaa, I seen a 18meg save.exe running. Busted a uninstall real quick

good looking out daddy-o. I guess one could run an old version of kazaa to as it didn't use to have the adware.
Jeesh, I'm sick of being bombarded!
