Angry Annoying Adds

While browsing the net the other day, I found this cool Matrix desktop theme. After I installed it I started getting these annoying pop up adds. Every now and again while browsing the net I will see a word or words that are underlined. When the mouse pointer is over the underlined word(s) a yellow outline surrounds the word(s) and then an advertisment pops up something like this: bla..bla..bla..find a job(underlined words)bla..bla..bla.. This is the message when holding the mouse over the underlined word(s), "click here to find jobs at employment.com." How do I turn this off??????

Your cool matrix themes may be the cause of all of your problems. First I suggest uninstalling the themes. Then download and run either adaware or spybot click here Also run your favorite virus scan with the latest definitions.

If one of those programs does not work, then download, load, run and post the log from hijack this and someone will take a look at it for you.
