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.

Hey there,
You can find a free download of AdBlock here http://bitly.com/1p6oFlf

AdBlock is the solution to avoid pop-ups while you are using internet.
It works very well.

Answer 4

If you have firefox, you can download Adblock Plus from the firefox add-ons site (tools > add-ons), which is a great ad-blocking program. If you have IE, I don't know what to do. But if there are pop-ups on a site, you are most likely going to get them - don't go to that site anymore, complain to the owner, or ignore them.

Answer 5

You can get a pop-up blocker security thing on your computer or on my computer u can go to TOOLS once you open an internet page and go to pop-ups and press BLOCK.
