Annoying Pop-Ups

Pop-Ups, Curses
So i was working with my office computer last Saturday. After my computer rebooted successfully, a pop-up advertisement appeared from nowhere, and an internet explorer webpage opened with perfspot.com in the address bar,another window pops up with SAATCHI advertising......grrrrrrrrrrrrr ,quite annoying actually, so as my usual routine, i boot to safe-mode and started my malware bytes anti-malware. Oh my, no treats detected, and the pop-ups are still there when i go back to normal mode. I downloaded Spyware Doctor and booted to safe mode, yey! it detected some nasty spyware, i clicked on delete or was that clean.....hmmmm anyways,

Great, I feel great, seeing that the software actually detected something, oh the malware bytes did not detect it because its not a malware.lolz.

WOOOOPS
As i booted up back to normal mode, the problem came back after a few minutes. Thats it, im pissed, curse the creator of this annoying pop-up ads

SOLUTION
Ive observed that the pop-up ads are all Internet Explorer, so i simply un-install the internet explorer program under control panel, since i have mozilla, i dont need to worry about internet browser, and i used some cleaning tools like CCleaner and restart my computer and i deleted the internet explorer folder under program files just to make sure i dont have any nasty left.

Well, i still need to use internet explorer because i need to access some websites that would not run well under mozilla firefox so i go ahead and install it again,hoping i wont see those common pop-ups again.

YUP! SUCCESS!!! no more pop ups.lolz...

Alternative to Photoshop

A Good Image Editing Software
So I bet you guys are familiar with Adobe's Photoshop. Every image that turns to something else makes you wanna say "That's Photoshop". But, for those who can't afford an editing software like Photoshop or the like, Ive found an alternative image editing software.

Paint.Net is a free image editing software almost close to other editing software because of its opacity feature and layering. You can download it here on this link http://www.getpaint.net/

This software might not have everything on it but its better than paint bundled with your Windows OS. :)

Below are some of the examples i made from Paint.Net and learned it through the help tab.
