   AffiliateTarget.com
  In the past week I've grown more and more frustrated with this AffiliateTarget.com crap. Everytime I try to log into my Yahoo Email or my hotmail email, or even click buttons on webpages, i get this screen with an advertisement on it and at the top it says "[inset URL]....you will be redirected in [counts down from 10]."It's really making me angry because it often screws things up if i'm trying to order something or log into my email. Does anyone know how to get rid of it ro anything? I went to their website but to no avail.RapidArp   
  Welcome to the wonderful world of adware.Here are a few keyword you might be interested in from our sponsors.- Microsoft Anti-Spyware- Adaware- Spybot Search&Destroy- Enl4rg3 yur p5n1s!   ;  I have update and run Ad-Aware several times......nothign worked.   ;  Try on of the others.  They are often complementary.   ;  Use firefox.Well, someone had to say it...   ;Quote:Original post by v0dKAUse firefox.Well, someone had to say it...It would appear all the previous posters where simply too smart. Installing or using Firefox won't get rid of adware (in fact we've already had threads about people complaining about adware still running while they are using FireFox).Face it, the adware is installed, either through the browser, or because it was bundled into some "free" software rapidarp downloaded and installed. Simply parading around "firefox" makes one look like a talking points stooge, or worse, the friendless loser who thinks people will take him in if he tries to act like everyone else and jump on any bandwagon he sees.A lot of adware will continue to operate normally even with Firefox running, so the solution is to remove it and be more careful about running strange installers, not drink the OSS solves everything kool aid.;Quote:Original post by MichalsonQuote:Original post by v0dKAUse firefox.Well, someone had to say it...It would appear all the previous posters where simply too smart.

Michalson, take chill pill!No need to get angry, you can siply explain that Firefox doesn't remove adware, it aides in preventing it. An who ever said it was OSS that cause it?   ;  Try going to Tools > Internet Options... > Temporary Internet Files > Delete Files... and click ok (perhaps also delete all offline content). It will empty your IE cache, but more importantly it will delete all scripts. That might do it.   ;  :\ Yeah, seriously. Ouch.At any rate, even [superior, open, community-driven, free, user-friendly and] secure software will fail if the user doesn't have the common sense to identify this type of adware.If all else fails, you may want to consider using Windows' Rollback feature, if you remember when this adware installed itself.
