I have started getting full page pop-ups although the microsoft pop-up blocker is on. Also below:?

I keep getting an error from 'Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime library' advising 'buffer overrun detected!'. Program: C:\windows\explorer\explore.exe.


'A buffer overrun error has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be now terminated'.





Please, please can anybody suggest an easy solution. I do not currently have any anti-virus software installed, except for windows firewall. NB my pc hdoes not crash after this error but sometimes websites shut down automatically. I have repeatedly run Spyware Doctor and removed ay infections detected but this has not solved the problem.





Thank you.

unplug internet boot pc in safe mode without net .run your scans,reboot without net run scan again, shut down plug in internet rebootthen download some good virus %26amp; fire wall programs.
Reply:it doesn't sounds like pop-ups, it sounds like real error messages from Windows OS or some software you use. If you hadn't installed new programs recently, i suggest you still re-install operating system.
Reply:Hi,


You should use "NoAdware".It's very effective.I don't have anymore problems with spyware,adware,Trojan or pop-up ads.Now, you can download and try it for free.Check it out here:

Reply:First off, you need to get decent firewall and anti-virus software. Windows Firewall is about as effective as a piece of paper against a raging forest fire.





Until you get the chance to pay for something (like Norton or McAfee), I suggest getting the following; they will still be useful after you've paid for something decent:


--%26gt; Ad-Aware http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007/30...


--%26gt; Spyware Terminator http://www.spywareterminator.com/


--%26gt; Zone Alarm free firewall http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/d...





When you've installed those, they will help prevent any viruses or popups from the internet. What will also help is if you use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Its free, easier to use, and much safer. Plus the popup blocker actually works!





However, it sounds like the pops are being caused by Adware stored on your computer. Hopefully this will be found by Ad-Aware and removed, but if not you should do a virus scan using http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/





Hopefully if you follow this advice, and install a firewall, anti-virus software with real-time protection, and spyware scanner/removers, and switch to Firefox, your problems and days of browsing the internet unprotected are over.





However, I still recommend you purchase a commercial Internet Security suite - see
