question about Foxfire

**CatLuvrs** · 09-08-2006, 07:20 AM

Do you all that have foxfire did you delete Internet Explorer from your computer? I tried using IE again and the pop ups on there even with the blocker on and on high are ridiculous! Foxfire does have those. I don't understand why I can't get them to stop on IE

Nope I left IE on my computer when I downloaded Firefox. You can also use a popup blocker toolbar like yahoo or google (i use google when on IE).

If you are getting pop ups -- and lots of them -- even with a popup blocker, and when going to sites that normally don't have popups, then your computer might be infected with spyware.

Try downloading Lavasoft's Adaware - its a free spyware cleaner - at http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadge...f695220993fc0f

Run the updates, and run the scanner, and just follow the prompts.

I get that too... part of the reason why i hate Internet Explorer.
before i knew of FireFox and was stuck using Internet Explorer as my main browser,, i used this thing. (its free)
and a awesome pop up blocker. but ever since i started using FireFox i havent had the annoyance of popups
so havent used it in a long time.

That the same thing I did. Foxfire and NO pop ups. it was ridiculous the pop ups I had. I have the spyware remver for comcast and used it every day there would be some on there and I would delete them. I will use the spyware thing you sent me thank you.
