I keep getting a pop up message from www.bigboner.biz every few minutes. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this problem? Thanks.

I would suggest that you use these freeware anti-adware and anti-spyware cleaners first. See if they clear up the problem? If not, there are further methods we can use.

Please follow these instructions:

ADAWARE

1. Download and install Adaware (free edition). (Click on "Adaware" in the left-hand column near the top at their website to download the free edition.)

2. Go to Start > Programs > Lavasoft and click on AdAware 6 to open the program

3. Look at the icons on the top right of the page and click on the world and let AdAware update the spyware reference list

4. Once the update is finished click on the Gear icon (second from the left) to access the preferences/settings window

1. In the General window make sure the following are selected:
ˇ Automatically save log-file
ˇ Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
ˇ Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

2. Click on the Scanning button on the left and select :
ˇ Scan Within Archives
ˇ Scan Active Processes
ˇ Scan Registry
ˇ Deep Scan Registry
ˇ Scan my IE favorites for banned URLs
ˇ Scan my Hosts file
ˇ Under Click here to select drives + folders, choose:
ˇ All of your hard drives

3. Click on the Advanced button on the left and select:
ˇ Include additional process information
ˇ Include additional file information
ˇ Include environment information
ˇ Include additional object details

4. Click the Tweak button and select:
ˇ Under the Scanning Engine:
ˇ Unload recognized processes during scanning
ˇ Include basic Ad-aware settings in logfile
ˇ Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile
ˇ Under the Cleaning Engine:
ˇ Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

5. Click on Proceed to save the settings.

6. Click Start and on the next screen choose Activate in-depth Scan at the bottom of the page and then choose:
ˇ Use Custom Scanning Options

7. Click Next and AdAware will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected.

8. Save the log file when it asks and then click finish

9. REBOOT

5. Next click the button Check for Problems

6. When Spybot is complete, it will be showing RED entries BLACK entries and GREEN entries in the window
