I keep on getting pop ups from a website called CID.
I have Internet Explorer 7 and the pop up blocker is on. I have the Yahoo Toolbar and the pop up blocker for that is on. I have run a Virus check and there are no errors.

You have adware, not a virus. Use a good adware/spyware tool to rid your machine of it.
Adaware SE
Spybot S&D
Both are good, both are free, USE BOTH of them.

What might have happened at some point you may have clicked on the blocked pop-ups at the top of the screen by mistake, which releases them onto the page you were on when you clicked. The best thing you can do is carry out adware & spyware checks to resolve the problem.

set up use and replace a) virus scanning b) a firewall and c) Anti-spy ware software on your pc. receive, set up and use Firefox (you may google search for for Firefox). Firefox has popup blocking off outfitted in, yet besides how you may set up addins and set up the Adblock Plus icon. base line: you've blundered heedlessly into the web quagmire of the internet. Now you're stuck and also you merely have your self responsible. do no longer attempt to safeguard your self with lack of expertise. do a touch study and discover out what you're doing earlier you mess each little thing up. Oh pricey, too overdue.

Report it to Yahoo - they are supposed to be able to block pop-ups. Download Ad-Aware - it works!

Mr. Overload ... Is it possible to stay away from the web site? That seems like the best solution to me.
