HairLossTalk.com. How can you allow that butcher, Bosley to have his Popup come up everytime I come to this site? And he is a butcher!

1. Please don't assume the worst.

2. Bosley Medical is no longer butchering people. They are doing successful transplants now. The butchering stopped nearly 10 yrs ago.

3. We don't advertise them.

You have adware installed on your computer that got there while you were browsing web sites. Several companies now install things on your computer without your knowledge. They are advertising companies. They have a list of companies that pay them to do their dirty work. Now anytime you go to a page that contains a keyword like "transplant" or "hair loss", if the company has an advertiser paying them for it, you will see a banner ad pop up on that page.

The moral of the story? There are companies out there stealing advertising space and are getting away with it. They have even figured out how to change text on a page into a clickable link that goes to their advertisers, even if we did not put it there.

They can also change our existing banner ads to be completely different ones, without our knowledge.

All because its installed on your computer at home. Bosley is one of the companies working with these crooks, and we've already contacted them and asked them to stop.

Download this program, run "Deep Scan" on your computer, Quarantine and delete everything it finds, reboot, and do it again, and again. Sometimes it takes up to 6 reboots before they're all found and deleted. The ads will likely be gone.

I had it to and used the exact same "Adware" cleaner as HairLossTalk.com. I was surprised to find I had about 18 adware programs on my laptop. Like HairLossTalk.com said, you need to reboot several times, plus check it after each download. It is a fast scan, and only takes 5-10 minutes.

Also, it is a good idea to dump your chache and temp internet files once a week. That will help alot.

I just ran this program it says on had 583 bad objects and removed them.

I never had a popup problem. I guess my Internet movements where being tracked.

Thanks HairLossTalk.com for the tip.
