New sort of SPAM suddenly creating popups on my computer


Started yesterday.

These blatant popup ads that advertise a POP-UP
stopper at BYEBYEADS.COM

Funny thing is, you know that BYBYEADS.COM is
sending these suckers out just to get you to buy
their program.

These popups are totally annoying. You need not
to have a browser open. A normal pop-up stopper
program (which I have running all the time) does
not stop it. You could have your desktop running
idle when all of a sudden...WHAM...this box appears.

Worse yet, you can't easily close the pop-up box.

I tried running PEST PATROL to remove whatever
was put on my computer, but it detected nothing.

Strange thing is, I can't remember downloading
and installing any program that would have put
this sort of annoying banner program in my computer.

Anyone experiencing this problem as of late?
