    Angry Can't get rid of adware

    I've successfully removed adware before but this ....... rvzr-a.akamaihd.net is a real nightmare. Have three programs installed that deal with stuff like adware but none can get rid of this.

    I've only recently done a fresh installation too of Windows and all I've downloaded is around 10 programs which I have used before without any problems.

    Every time I post a message on a site like here, up pops ads. So frigging annoying

    Any idea's?

    That's one of the programs I had installed and it didn't get rid of it.
