I am a member of a site called wwwmycoupons.com I am trying to get to the shopping boards there and I keep getting a popup (never before)started today I only get it when I click boards and nothing else I click.

It is the popup to either download or see from present loaction,well like a dummy I clicked download hoping to make it go away and it is still there everytime I click boards. I asked another member was she getting the popup and she said no.

I am doing a virus scan as I type and I just did one yesterday. I have nortons.(no virus found)as of tonight 12-24-02

It is just too weird I dont get it, what do I do??
Thanks so much I will check in the morning. :( :( :(

It could be another Application trying to get you.. You could try going into Msconfig and shutdown any unneeded apps from loading at Startup. Just to test the system..

Also, I highly recomend you get AdAware. It will check for any spyware that may be lurking on your system. You can dowload it from here AdAware v5.62 (http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/index.html) It is the newest version....

Thanks dodge it worked at least for now.
Could you tell me what I need to keep there under the startup in case I deleted something I need.

The only things I want in my systems tray is Nortons and callwave and they are there now.
Thanks so much for the help. ;)

help!!!!!!! I must have deleted something to do with sound cause my sound is real low and when I push the button on my keyboard for volumn I dont see the green line going up and down as it does normally, help help help.

What do I need to put back under start to get the volumn back right?
Thanks :confused:

update-
I fixed it, I went back into startup and checked keyboard manager and all is well, I guess I am learning something after all.
Thanks
;) ;)
