I am very annoyed by the pop ups I have lately. I was in the living room for like an hour and when I am back there are like 30+ on my screen. I am not talking about the ones that you get when you open a website, but these are just regular random pop ups trying to see THINGS. Grrrrrrrrrr... :mad: :mad: Hate them. Anyone has that problem too? What should I do?

Yeah, if anyone knows where I can find one that would be great. It keep popping up when I am typing or just browsing. Very annoying.

Catnapper suggested Nortons Internet settings to me, and I installed that on my computer, and I have not had any popups at all. I love it! It also has an antivirus program on it too, and I didn't realize how many viruses was trying to invade my computer until I installed this program! In sites you would not even think about. No more spam in my mail either.

I don't think I could do without this program now, ever!

Adaware is great. I use to get a TON of popups. It's from spyware and stuff I guess. Just dl that, it's free, and you should be good once you run it :)

There is spybot too, but I like Adaware more

I use adaware and google's pop up stopper. I LOVE the google one. I rarely get pop ups anymore.

Grrrrrrrrr... isn't that annoying. Mine are not the ones that "comes with" the website, but the other "messages" (or whatever they called it). I think I got at least like 100 today. :( I have downloaded the Google bar and so far it seems "fine". :rolleyes:
