HOW DO I GET RID OF POP UP's!?!?

Question

I use Mozilla Firefox all the time, but i still get pop ups from Internet Explorer. How do I stop them!!!???. ( I have Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy)

Answer 1

I have never had a single (unwanted) popup using the folowing software.

I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)


The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)http://www.grisoft.com/doc/289/lng/us/tpl/tpl01

The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version

AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.

These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.

The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Answer 2

There is three things that need to be done in order to get rid of popup's forever.
#1 Goto panicware and get their free pop up stopper program, it will stop most java and web based popup's.
#2 Uninstall Macromedia Flash Player. A lot of websites are abusing Flash Player with popup windows which popup stoppers will not stop. There is no setting in Flash player to fix this. So the only cure is to get rid of flash player.
#3 Do a internet search for a popup stopper called POW.
POW is a programmable popup stopper that will stop imaging sites such as splink from using a java/image based script to force a popup window on you.
I haven't figured out how Splink does this little popup window trick but POW will take care of it.
Hope this info helps.

pop ups are commonly set by 3rd parties (not directly from the site you're at) in most browsers the DEFAULT settings allow this to happen.turn this feature off. you want to 'allow 1st party cookies' allow session cookies, most definatly block 3 party cookies. look in tools>internet options>privacy settings>advanced
