 | Pop-up problems. Lately, even though i've had a good run, all of a sudden more and more pop-ups are getting through on my computer, and since it's wireless internet on my laptop it happens out of nowhere when i'm not even on the net at the moment. I sometimes use Internet Explorer, but mostly use Mozilla FireFox. I was just wondering, is there any software or anything i can get to help stop the pop-ups? (i'm sure you all know how annoying they are...)

| Re: Pop-up problems. Grumble Grumble Grumble Sounds like you've been infected by a Adware/Spyware program... Time to use one of those Spyware cleaners... For starters, you can try the Microsoft Spyware Removal Beta available at... http://www.microsoft.com/spyware/

| Re: Pop-up problems. Thank you VERY MUCH! I'm using the spyware removal right now so if it's spyware it's gone! And i'm gonna check out the pop-up killer 4.0 in a couple minutes, thanks to both of you very much. I really appreciate it. Especialy for my laptop, my parents are WAY too concerned about it so if anything happened to it they'd kill me... Again, thank you.

| Re: Pop-up problems. but do beware you don't remove all the spyware, some came with freeware that you might be using

| Re: Pop-up problems. There are a few that you have to manually remove from your system that many free anti-spyware programs can't touch. If you still have this issue after you run your program, check your control panel under add/remove programs, and look for anything suspicious: 180 search assistant, hippo software, toolbars, etc. remove them here, and then erase any leftover folders. |
