porn popups
 

Can anyone tell me how to completely delete the files that are allowing those horrible porn popups? Whenever I get one, Limeshop Preferences is a option when I right click on tje site. But nothing happens when I click on those words. I have deleted Limewire and Limeshop from my hard drive but I still get the popups. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try reading through this thread. There are some ideas there about how to delete it.

It's the first thread in Open Discussion. Titled: "German Porn Dialler".

Good luck!

Porn popups, not dialers
 

I appreciate the help, but in reading through it, the ideas were for porn dialup sites, not popups. Someone made the statement that they were a whole other issue. Does anyone have any ideas for the popups?

Try downloading "Spybot SD" (Spybot Search and Destroy) and update when you get it. Its freeware and can easily be found by searching google. It worked for me when xupiter hijacked my computer. good luck.

If spybot doesnt work, wich it should, try adaware from lavasoft. It might be necessary to use both, if it is a tricky program.

Stick with SpyBot . It's only a little more thorough than Ad-Aware, but better is better.

Porn pop-ups
 

Thanks for your suggestions. I ended up loading McAfee's Internet Security program. That stopped the software from loading the pop-ups and I could choose to let it connect or not. I found out the program was called RapidBlaster that was allowing them to pop-up and deleted that from my hard drive. I haven't had any trouble with them since so I think I have the problem solved.

I found out that my 12yr son is downloading graphic
pornography off limewire. Mainly quicktime
movies. I don't know what pop-ups or dialers
are ... but does the Macafee
program stop all access. I tried it myself by typing in the word BLOW. and got lots of mp3 entrys
but also lots of blow job mpegs. How would the Macfee program stop this? Thanks for any help

McAfee cannot filter Gnutella traffic. If you want to block adult content with LimeWire go to the LimeWire options ->filters->keywords and check the "Ignore Adult Content" check box.

If you want to block all videos, you can enter additional keywords to filter at the same place. Just add the following words "mpg", "mpeg", "avi", "mov", "qt", "rm", "asf", "wmv" and "ram" to the keyword filter and almost all videos will be blocked.

Thanks for that last reply about Mcafee and how to filter out these videos. One more question-
if I set these preferences, can they be changed
by my son ( once he figures out what I've done)
or is there a password/ authorized supervisor
sort of thing? Thanks
