how can i stop pop ups?

Answer 1

This is how-
Often pop ups are seen as only coming from websites-this is a error
That is what ad-ware does
it is software that sits on your computer and feeds you popups
(ever get a popup from google? that was ad-ware)

you should download and install ad-aware from lavasoft:
http://dw.com.com/redir?pid=10399602&merid=69274&mfgid=69274
run the scan and remove what it finds

next download and install firefox:
http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0&os=win&lang=en-US

use firefox for your browser (not ie) and you will see a huge reduction in pop ups



if you are still getting pop ups use Onthehillalone's list of programs to cross scan

Pop ups mean that yur PC is infected with alware. Use these scans below to get rid of it.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
