Casalemedia Poppup - How to remove

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

My computer has picked it up. AdAware and Spybot SD don't kill it off. I
scanned Google, and only find links for other anti-spyware programs. Any
suggestions?

I believe I know what you are talking about.

I do not believe that it is file-driven...but you may have something there!
Please share what you find out on that.

However, I have 3 pop-ups that I can't seem to stop with the HOSTS file, but
do show up with a DNS. (Still with me here? If only in this, I am fairly
-- not completely by any means-- versed)

I have entered various permutations of casalmedia, including and not
including the prefixes, and similar treatment has been given to adserver.com
and mercuras.com -- but.....I can't stop them.

Also, numeric IPs will bypass the HOSTS file, but I don't think that is what
is happening with the above 3.

Anyone have commentary?
