Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I recently found out when I downloaded a game for my son a sneaky trick they pull on you when downloading items sometimes. After I downloaded the game I always do a virus check on the program to make sure it is ok to use. After installing the game I would get a pop up telling me I should check my computer for porno. I found out yea my computer does have porn on it since not only did they put there pop up program on my computer to get me to buy there program, but they also put a folder with my collected favorites with nothing but porno web sites. It did not take me long to get rid of both favorites they added and also there pop up program. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Sometimes they will put an executable on your computer that will replace those items even after you delete them. I find that the spybot search and destroy program cleans them all up completely. Sneaky download.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I knew it when I restarted my computer and the ad pop up asking me to check my computer for the porn. I was curious so I checked and it was on my computer. When I went into my favorite folders I noticed the folder they had added. Adware works well to find that kind of stuff on your computer. Once it is found you can either delete it or quaratine it.
