Then reboot and you will be clean. I have to do this everytime I upgrade bearshare.
Sorry man, it didn't work. I downloaded Hijack This before, but couldn't find it, so I just downloaded it again. It popped well over 100 files. I deleted 96 that I was sure were trash. Then I went to Add/Remove Programs. SaveNow and Weathercast were nowhere to be found. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] I still did the Adaware and Rebooted. But as soon as I started Browsing the Internet again, there came all the same popups, one after another (as many as 3 at one time [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] ).

I DO have the Google Bar in place and it blocks LOTS of Pop-Ups, but SaveNow seems to be immune to it's efforts. Looks like it might be time to give Mozilla and the other one a try.
