I still have trouble with pop-up/ ads. How do I get rid of it completely?

Answer 1

Go to any search engine and type in pop up blocker and they should come up with some websites you can use some are free and some cost be sure to read everything properly

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Ah, you might merely be visiting sites that utilize pop-up advertisements, or you might have adware installed on your computer. To rid yourself of either, use Google's toolbar or Yahoo's equivalent, and download and run AdAware frequently to remove spyware and other types of malware. All are free and easily downloaded from the Internet, and Yahoo's toolbar even has a mediocre spyware-killer built in, I believe. Depending on your browser, you can also disable JavaScript (a computer language that most pop-ups use) or enable a pop-up blocker that your browser may already have. Good luck, hope this helps.

Make sure you have good security. Download any of these free products you dont have.

Antiviral. (free)

AVG free. Excellent protection available from: http://www.Grisoft.com

Don't use two antiviral products together as they may be incompatible. If your Antiviral trial has run out, then remove product from your computer and get the AVG installed.

Essential products are: Adaware SE from: http://www.lavasoft.com
