Pop Up Blocker?

Question

This all started last night.. All of a sudden my computer started to receive many annoying pop ups that doesn't really go away. The one that bothers me the most is one that comes up as www.ad-w-a-r-e.com.... I'm not sure how this started because my computer was working pretty fine. How can I stop this from happening??? Please Help! Thanks!

Its not well known but it is what us techs use. Its Shareware but it will do the trick. Recommend running it several times

Answer 2

My favorite program to use is Ad-Aware by Lavasoft. Another great program is Spybot. If you're using Internet Explorer, you may consider switching to Mozilla Firefox. I have found that this browser tends to block more pop-ups than Internet Explorer. You may also consider downloading a program called "SiteAdvisor" by McAfee. This will "advise" you when you use a search engine. If will show a checkmark for sites that are relatively safe and an "X" for sites that contain unwanted items such as popups and spam. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Man the best thin to do is git GOOGLE TOOLBAR. it blocks popups and it works great!! also your comp should have blocker built in to check go to TOOLS>pop-up Blocker on your IE menu.

Good lux

Answer 4

Are you using Yahoo's pop-up blocker? It is on Yahoo's toolbar. Click it and choose "enable."

If you are still bothered, click the pop-up blocker button and choose "why am I still getting pop--ups"?

Hi Jamar, i don't know whether or not this will help, but did you check your computer for viruses?..I have ad-ware downloaded on my computer and run it once , or twice a week to check for viruses on my computer.so if you don't have that on your computer, i suggest that you get newer protection for your computer...hearveytpl
