New Dell Computer-New Pop-Ups-How to get rid of them....
After purchasing my 3rd new Dell Computer (Dimension E521) I was browsing the internet and started encountering LARGE ads that took over the whole screen. I couldn't figure out why this was happening since the XP blocking was ON. After the 4th time this happened, I hit control, alt, delete and saw there was something called NSIS Google advertisement running.
I went to my control panel to remove programs (I had already removed all of the Google and Eula things, and there it was NSIS Google.
You can remove it simply by click remove.
Dell, you ought to be a bit less greedy and not embed this kind of advertising in your new computers.
Shame on you.

I can tell you that if what you described happened to me, from what I know of NSIS I would be concerned about the possibility of associated spyware on my PC, and would post a HighjackThis logfile in the HJT forum. Full instructions on how to do this are here.

"The majority of Delltalk veterans are helpful, friendly individuals. They are also literate. It will be in your best interest to phrase your post in proper English and punctuation should not be considered optional. Considerable leeway is given to posters for whom English is not their primary language, but posts that begin with something like "Can u tell me y..." may be ignored or answered in a less than cordial fashion."

Thank you. The LATE Denny Denham? Please don't tell me that wonderful gentleman and scholar has passed away. If so, the world and this forum has lost a real treasure.

And bear in mind, that Dell can keep their PC prices down because the software vendors pay Dell to install all that extra 'stuff'.
