GOD dayam!!! i hate pop ups!!! i leave my computer on all day, and when i get home from work i have over a dozen pop up advertisements on my window!!!! how are they doing this???? for a long time i thought you only get pop ups if you click on a link or go to a specific site that has pop ups... but now, its appearing even when im not surfing the net... well, i do have cable modem and my computer is constantly running... but how the hell are they doing this??? i tried deleting my cookies and my internet content but still i get a few pop ups randomly. this shit is really annoying!!!!

Same thing happened to me with Internet Explorer so I installed Mozilla. No pop-ups now! But some sites don't work properly.

spy ware. try using ad aware.

yea.. i'll give ad ware a try... i thought it might have been "gain" which is considered spy ware so i deleted the program that supported it and i still get pop ups... not as much as before but i still get a few randomly. do u personaly use ad ware?

yup it is really good. i had that stupid mini camera ad popping up all the time and the first time i used ad aware it was all gone. try it and see if it works. also i dont know if you have kazza on your computer but that has been known to cause a lot of pop ups as well.

whenever i get back to my computer from maybe 5 mins, i have all these porn popups, and it annoys me.

i think its from my sister. not that she looks at porn, but i had a pw on my computer for ages, and i took it off, and ever since, theres all these porn popups. so now i have a PW again, but still popups, because i'm too lazy to fix it.

I've been using kazza lite, and I've found out (after the fact) that there were attempts to hack into my comp through kazaa. I don't know it could have been the riaa.

You could always download the google toolbar for internet explorer. Ever since I downloaded that, I've not had one pop-up. It's free, and works a treat!
