Needing help with weird pop up things.
 
I have a problem.I opened a mysterious e-mail by accident and now every few minutes I get about 20+ pop ups about webcams and XXX pictures and viagra. It's just a grey box with text in it, no pics. I scanned twice and nothing came up andnow I've done "system restore"
How do I get rid of them? Will the system restore work?

The system restore should do the trick, although it's best not to do these too oftern.

Well after doing a system restore they where still there. So I turned the internet connection off and then scanned for viruses again and it seems ok now.

Have you scanned for spyware as well?

If not, get Lavasoft's AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy.

They're good to have even if they don't help, but they might.
