A good firewall also helps. Also, increase your security level, that may help cut the rubbish pop-ups too.

I once had a nasty spyware soft (also popups about smileys appeared). No spybot, adaware or xoftspy could get rid of it. Had to spot and clean the DLL by hand.

This occurence happened to me before . . . until I knew that I got it from what @kimcheeboi has just said ! 3 months hence, I installed a Killer Pop-Up application/software, just to be sure here . . .

Some spyware pops up things related to the website you are visiting. It is very confusing because it looks like it comes from the visited site.
Scary.

Not only porn sites have spyware, though the risk is higher than on any other kind of site.

The best way to eliminate this kind of crap is to invest in a G5

A good thing to do (also works for viruses) is to open your task manager and look for the processes that you hve supposedly started. If you see something (usu not as obvious though) like "Bonzibuddy" or "Gator" you kind of know its spyware

You can then close the program and delete the file.

Worked at work when the network got infected with a trojan and when I had Gator on my PC.


Still, the #1 thing not to do is to visit those weird porn sites

This may be a little inappropriate but there ARE spyware-less sites out there and all i can say is to PM me



edit: Also some sites that contain spyware are game sites (like flash game, newgrounds etc); sites for emulators and ROMs; key generator/game copy sites; music download sites; and more.

you can look also for processmanager, a very helpful programm that can - if you allow - replace task manager (but also runs alone) which shows you every process thread and the thread related programs.

not to forget that kazaa is one of the nastiest spyware-spreading pestilence in the wwww.. if you should use it..
