  • Obnoxious Pop up ads

    I spent several hours trying to get a pop up ad from Golden Palace Casino off a computer at home yesterday.It would download the Casino Progam and took several minutes before you could exit the program.I had never visited this site and am certain it came hidden in another program my daughter dowloaded.I purchased some antispy software and althought it found and eliminated other ads-this one would not go away.I finally called the 800 # and got the attached e-mail.I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so here is how to rid it.I also found articles that this is a casino to avoid-not that I would play casino games on line.See attached link if interested.Article on Golden Palace is down on the list.

    Here is the e-mail and by the way I am not a customer !

    Dear Customer,

    When you sign-up with different websites and download various programs from
    the Internet, it is possible you may also be downloading other programs or
    applications at the same time as part of their installation bundle.

    Our company is affiliated with many different websites and it is possible
    you may have received our software in one of their bundles. All of our
    affiliates require their customers to agree to their Terms and Conditions
    before downloading any of their products and any software included with
    their products.

    If you download software from the Internet, we highly recommend that you
    fully read all Terms and Conditions and/or licensing agreements before
    installing anything.

    Removing our software from your computer is a simple process. However, you
    can only do so after it has been completely downloaded to your computer.
    The full download is just over 60 megabytes.

    Removing the Software

    There are three ways of removing the software, try each one in order. If
    the first doesnt work, try the second; if the second is not successful,
    try the third.

    1. Click the following link for instruction on how to remove the
    software: http://remove.monsterserve.com/remov...bar/index.html

    2. Go to http://www.jraun.com and click the uninstall download at the
    bottom.

    3. In some cases, you may also have to remove the software from your
    computer index directory. This is easy if you follow these steps:

    1. Double click the 'My Computer'icon on your desktop to open it.

    2. Double click the 'Local Disk (C)' icon to open it.

    3. Find the folder named 'Casino' then right-click ONCE on
    it-this will open a drop-down menu.

    4. Hold down the SHIFT Key and click DELETE in the drop-down menu
    simultaneously.

    5. Be sure to wait for the final Delete message - you must click
    YES, then the software will be deleted from your index directory.

    Keep in mind that our software is not spy-ware, and removing our software
    will not remove any spy-ware that may have been installed on your
    computer. We recommend that you download an application called "Ad-Aware"
    from http://www.lavasoftusa.com and run in periodically to remove annoying
    spy-ware from your computer.

    Should you need contact us for further assistance with the removal of the
    software, our toll free number is 1-888-217-5648.
