Default Re: Popups

Pop-ups are a direct result of spyware. Go to www.downoad.com and do a search for Spybot, and Adaware if you don't have it, download them, install and update them, then scan with them in safe mode and remove/delete all threats found. Also try Microsoft Anti-Spyware from none other than www.microsoft.com.

If you feel like you're computer saavy enough you can download and install "Hijack This" and remove the PUPS (potentially unwanted programs) found, though this program doesn't find the PUPS, it actually just lists the Browser Helper Objects, etc., and you select which ones to remove potentially damaging programs that worked fine before.
