Everytime I open my browser, within a minute or so,
another browser window opens and dtsrts letting pop up
ads through. It pops up with a url of
www.sandboxer.com/games/findword.aspx, but each time the
url is a little different. I also have a program in my
common files called "updater" that I cannot delete.
Anybody run into something like this? What is the remedy?
