Yeah I've taken my macbook apart before, they make it incredibly difficult to dismantle though so it's a bit of pain... but I will certainly give it a go more often clean it up inside regularly. |
It's why I love my ginormous monstrosity of a desktop computer.
I can practically crawl inside it and clean it. |
...so apparently i have this nasty cookie on my computer which gives me some nice ads every twenty minutes and makes my browser slow as fuck. i tried clearing it using an anti-virus program (AVG) and firefox's built-in controls, no such luck. any ideas?

i've tried both programs in the past, they just exacerbated things. plus i think they come with spyware to begin with.

Have you tried tracing the file to your registry?

Try scanning it with ClamWin. It's a free, no bullsh!t anti-virus. I've had it for a while now and it does the job for me

In your firewall you can always block all traffic to and from the domain where the advertisements originate.
Or, if you use Firefox, there's a great addon called AdBlockPlus that um... blocks all ads. |
Freeeeeeeeeebase, you gots to help me :(
I was writing a post, and now my screens smaller... Like everythings magnified. and the letterings huge. I feel like I'm supposed to be blind. |
Try Ctrl+mousewheel down, if ya did what I think ya did.
