lately i have been getting very explicit unwanted disgusting porn pop ups on my computer. Question is, can these pop up even if someone has not visited those sites?

I don't need self esteem counseling a**hole. I look good and I know it, that's why my husband doesn't need to go look at some wh*res crotch to get off. My guess, you are about 5.0 ft and 600 lbs. you get mighty lonely without your filth.

I'd seen some of the answers here and thought I would chime in.
You're all right.
Some sites you have to visit for it to "cookie" your browser, other sites either related or unrelated can also be affected in this way.
Do you have to visit a site for it to establish a pop up? - No, you don't. Most often times you have or someone on your computer has visited one or more.
The other thing to be weary of, is that you may have contracted a virus.
There is a program that is free to use from Lavasoft. It's called AdAware. NO (That's not adware and does not install any either)
The folks at Lavasoft do a really great job of updating this to detect the most current of worms, trogans, etc ...
I would suggest downloading your copy and letting it run. I do it, 3 - 4 times a week to keep my XP cleaned.
Also I would suggest not using Internet Explorer because it is full of known security holes etc.... If you like IE, or have a need to use it, go download a copy of Avant which is a free browser that sits ontop of IE but you don't get all holes and junk that IE gives you.

I will resist the urge to give any opinion on content but from experience, I can tell you it's a form of a virus. Probably brought on by someone clicking on a link within a site for another site and that brought it to you.
Not being a computer expert, I do know it will take a virus removal of some kind. All else fails you can take it to a computer repair store and they can get it out for you.

It is possible that they are just random. I used to get these types of pop-ups and no one had been on my computer except me...and there is no way i was looking at that stuff!
Dont assume your husband or anyone has been to these sites...You computer may just have some sort of virus- mine did. Get pop-up blocking software and and scan your computer for viruses.

Yes, you are getting the porn pop ups because someone used your computer to access some porn. Don't bury your head in the sand, it doesnt just randomly get there.
Get some good antivirus software, buy webroot spyware, and run adaware. (that one is free) Use them everyday.

The only way i got rid of a invoice, and it was not for a porn site, but i have a idea who this is, is to download a trial edition of Kaspersky anti virus, and scan your computer, and it should get rid of this invoice.....Good luck......

Uggghhhhh.....That sux!!!!! Someone was obviously on these sites! My teenage son use to always deny it but then I found out that in order for these to pop up, someone was making these visits!!! Check the history on your computer.
