Computer virus problem
« on: May 05, 2008, 00:42:23 AM »
Can any computer wizz advise me, I have addware (I think) on my pc When I am on the net I keep geting pop ups which relate to stuff I am looking at and in the subject line it always starts 'CiD'.
I have googled CiD and it confirms that it is a very difficult to remove addware type thing.
I have run 'Spybot' but that did not cure it. One site sugested the only way to surely remove it is to re install windows.
Any other suggestions before I take this drastic step?

Sometimes the pop ups are every few mins, but then I have been on net for about 1 hour now & only had 1. When its frequent its a real pain but I am more concerned about security I have my Internet banking etc on this computer.
Thanks for any help.
Paul
