Answer 1

Hey Jasleen Dhanjal

I hate pop-ups and every time when I get some I reinstall Windows XP.

Answer 2

Try using firefox instead of Internet Explorer, and search for many featured extensions. It's free. If you use windows, consider to use XP SP2, it has better security feature than previous versions.

Here are the url for download :

For ad-blocker here are the url:

Answer 4

Annoying pop-ups are a cause of spyware and adware. I protect my computer against them by using some good software like shown below:

Also when your homepage changes is due because of spyware.

Try one of the following programs. Viruses are usually spread by pop-up ads or file sharing programs such as Limewire, I recommend some pop-up blocker and firewall and a virus software.
