Having problems with pop-ups from\u00a0s.ptrk-wn.com<\/strong>? If so, you might have adware installed on your machine. I got the\u00a0s.ptrk-wn.com pop-ups on my lab machine where I had the\u00a0TinyWallet<\/a>, Browser Warden<\/a> and BlockAndSurf <\/a>adware installed. I got the pop-up in Firefox<\/strong>, but it can appear if you are using Chrome<\/strong> or Internet Explorer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To remove the\u00a0s.ptrk-wn.com pop-up ads<\/strong> you need to review your machine for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check what programs you have installed in the Add\/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel. Do\u00a0you see something that you don’t remember installing and that was recently installed?<\/li>\n
  2. You can also review the add-ons that you have in your browser. Same thing here, do you see something that you don’t remember installing?<\/li>\n
  3. If that does not help, I’d recommend a scan with FreeFixer<\/a> to manually track down the adware. FreeFixer is a freeware tool that I’m working on that scans your computer at lots of locations, such as browser\u00a0add-ons, processes, Windows services, recently modified files, etc. If you want to get additional details about a file in the scan result, you can click the More Info link for that file and a web page will open up with a VirusTotal<\/a> report which will be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
