I keep getting a lot of spyware, popups and adware whilst on Esato. I dont understand - is this someone messing with Esato or what. If laffen runs this all single handedly, i am not surprised that there may be a bit of it.
Shame nout can be done. Laffen is already so busy doing a great job, i dont know what can be done. Ah well. If i ever find the person that keeps making these blasted "3,000 free smileys" adverts, i will personally beat his face to death with a base ball bat (if im in a good mood, it might only be wooden  )

I have never seen anything like that on Esato and I run both adaware and spybot
I'd suggest you are infected with something which coincidentally is poping stuff up at the same time you are browsing esato
run both these tools I have mentioned and make sure your pc is totally clean then try browsing esato again

I think you may have some spyware or adware installed on your system and it absolutely has nothing to do with Esato cuz i've never experienced anything like u said.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence of your attempt !! |

Try running a spyware checker whilst your pc is in safe mode.

Me too, never encountered such popups. I use firefox web browser, popups are blocked by default. :-)

can't be bothered.
there is a very easy way to solve this.
KILL ALL THE BASTARDS THAT GET SOME KIND OF SICK BUZZ OUT OF MAKING VIRUSES, SPYWARE AND ADWARE!!!!!!
or rather, run spybot

I had similar problem, but no virus/spyware or other prog could fix it. So I reinstalled windows. It's probably one of those which installs themselves to your pc. If you get rid of it please post me how? Blayv@yahoo.co.uk
