    how do I get rid of get-a-clip ads?

    Follow the instructions here.

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or cannot be removed there, skip to Step 2. HitmanPro may not be needed.

    how do I get rid of get-a-clip ads?

    When I surf the web, "get-a-clip" ads pop up at the bottom of the screen. I tried to disable them in Internet Explorer, but it does not allow me to hit the disable tab. I was able to take it off my PC, but the ads persist. How do I get rid of Get-a-Clip
