I've got great popup stoppers already. These popups are different. They say "Third Party Advertisements" or something like that. And they always relate to where I'm surfing.

Tried to download ad-aware, but the page is very complicated and I couldn't get the download to work.

Arrgghh!

I downloaded and ran ad-aware. It found one suspicious component:

BrilliantDigital key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.b3d\

While the scan was running, it said it found:

1 registry key
1 component recognized
1 new component
28 running processes

Do you think the BrilliantDigital key is spyware, and should it be removed? Also, what are the running processes?

Thanks.

When I was still using I.E., Ad Aware would find on average 20 or so different types of spyware during weekly scans. I've been using Mozilla for a week or so know, and a recent ad-aware scan turned up ZILCH.

Thanks stainless, for turning me on to Mozilla.
