Ced 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Pop-up blockers are allegedly on, I've Spybot'ed and Ad-Aware'd every spyware program on my computer and these pop-ups still won't stop. It's weird because I'm running Firefox and yet the pop-ups appear as IE windows. Anybody care to take a shot at this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 if the pop-ups appear as IE windows and you are using Firefox, then they are not coming from the web. Are you running a P2P program like Kazaa? That's one possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CronoT Report post Posted April 14, 2005 If you don't have it already, go to Download.com and download the Pop-Up closer program POW!. POW! is slightly different, in that you have to "add" the pop-up in question to it's list. However, once you've done that, any time that pop-up appears, POW! will automatically close it, and it will only be on your screen for about half a second. The best part is, it's free-ware. The people who made this program appearently hate pop-up, too. Here's the direct link to it, just for you: http://www.download.com/AnalogX-Pow/3000-7...tml?tag=lst-0-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have since switched to trillian so I don't have to worry about that anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
