Stop popups

Best way i've found is to use the Firefox web browser. It has built in popup blocker. Just enable it in the preferences. It's free and actually more stable than Microsoft Internet Explorer. There are programs that try to block popups but the don't seem to do as good as a job and some even contain spyware which is another issue.

Great to hear that it worked. I went through the same thing as you with the popups and firefox did it for me. It lets one by once and a while but mostly it works great. Now that you have firefox you'll want to download java virutal machine from java.com. and flash player, shockwave player from macromedia.com

I used to have pop-ups all the time before I got Firefox .. stupid Internet Explorer, but now I don't have any unless I want to see them.

Lavasoft adware is the best I have found for pop up and adware. I have tried all kinds. Friend of mine works in networking, they put this on the computer for me and since then nothing not a one. I also use foxfire which I will agree is a great browser.

Window defender by microsoft is a great tool for ad ware. I tried all kinds and since I got this on I have not had any problems at all.

Both of the programs are free also and easy to download and get started.
