Default Adwares Problem

I am facing adware coming out each time i go to any website including this website. I have AVG antivirus and COMODO firewall, but still face those adwares. Although AVG antivirus eliminates them as they are not installed on my computer. But i want to know that whether these adwares can be removed as i go to any website. I have windows vista installed. Can anyone help?

Regards

Watch What You Click. Many adware programs get installed into your computer once you click a particular advertisement banner that appears in different websites. Hence, unless you are extremely interested in whatever advertisement is flashing on your screen, it is best not to do so.

Update Your Settings. Many anti-virus software programs now provide users the ability to block adwares and other types of malware from being installed in your computer by prompting you about this. Once you have installed your anti-virus software program, make sure that the option to block adwares and pop up browsers is enabled. The same holds true with your Internet browsers. By doing so, your browser or anti-virus software program would prompt you if there is an adware or pop up that is trying to open on your Internet browser. Selecting the “block adwares and pop ups” option would automatically block these adwares and pop up browsers, unless you allow them to open.

Get Adware Protection Software Programs. Apart from anti-virus software programs offering this option, there are also a number of programs that could be downloaded from the Internet that have been developed for the sole purpose of detecting and scanning adware programs found all over the Internet. Most of these adware detecting programs can be downloaded free of charge. However, it is highly recommended to download these from reliable websites as some computer virus programs have been camouflaged to appear as adware detecting programs

There are high chances your computer is a part of zombie network and the remote user who controls your pc just like he might be owning many others uses your computer to run adware programs for which he is payed. There are many companies paying for this (but then this should happen anytime, not only when you visit some website) if its coming from certain websites just activate a pop-up blocker and allow pop-ups you know are legit. You can pm me your msn and I'll try to help you with some stuff after which you will know yourself if you are infected or was it just some websites..
