somehow i got a popup blocker on my pc and I can not remove it nor know what name it is?

Answer 1

It should be simple to find if you go to start then go to control panel then add remove and look in there for anything listed as a pop-up blocker. Good luck !!!!!

Answer 2

A popup blocker does just that--blocks advertising that pops up on your screen. disabling the popup blocker allows ads to be displayed on your screen. If this is what you want, try right-clicking on the popup blocker and disable it.

Answer 3

Hijack this wont remove ahything, is it a program to list everything gong on in ur computer

Leave the popup blocker alone, its doing its job.

or try placing ur mouse over the bottom of ur browser, see the 5 boxes at bottom, right click on second from left, that is also a popup blocker,

Answer 5

The previous answers wont help because that kind of spyware prevents those methods from working.

You should look for a download called HijackThis (all one word) and use that to remove anything that looks bad or that shouldn't be there.

You can get it from http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ and it doesn't contain any spyware or junk that you don't need.

Then you should install Winpatrol from http://www.winpatrol.com to make sure nothing like this can get on your system again.

Answer 6

if you are using windows xp you can use the roll back feature to reset your computer to a time beforfe the popup blocker was installed was installed. youll find it in system tools okay?

Answer 7

Go to add & Remove programmes, and find something that is not supposed to be there!!!!!
