Could anyone tell me how to stop pop ups appearing EVERYTIME i'm on the net browsing?

Question

Dont really want to spend anymore money if i can help it.
CID (not police..ha ha.) pop ups every five or ten mins......

Answer 1

a pop up is something which Appear suddenly or unexpectedly("it suddenly popped up out of nowhere")

to correct this

install Active x control on to ur browser and make sure that ur browser supports JAVA script and runs on a java or j2ee environment so that it can make appear encripted pages
and u better use opera browser 9,it is better and does not get up pop ups mostly

pop ups come up fr several reasons

if u work on pages with high graphics or resolutions ,they play mostly with macromedia flash player or macromedia shockwave player ,u better install these MSP and MFP by this u wont be getting pop ups

best of luck!

Run both programs in safe mode -

I would also scan for viruses - there are many free programs out there - here is a whole list (I recommend AVG Anti-VIrus) -

You should also be running a firewall (if you are not already) - again, here are a list of free firewalls (I recommend Zone Alarm) - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/tools_firewalls.html

Finally, use Mozilla Firefox!! as your web browser! - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/tools_browsers_firefox.html
