Pop-up that pop-up for no reason.

Could be from anything you recently installed... I know I had BearShare for a while and it did that, so I just uninstalled it and the ad crap to go with it. Might wanna think back if you've installed anything like this or anything shady lately.

 

try spysweeper. it could help. im pretty sure you have installed something like elfgirl_45 said. with the kind of spelling and grammer you have I doubt your "SMART ENOUGH"

 

Try adaware and/or spybot search and destroy.

spybot: http://security.kolla.de

 

Spybot should get those bad things off of your precious computer

(We almost got the same name, Chaka....)

 

I hate fucking popups!!!

 

I used Ad-aware even if I my computer wasn't victim of any spyware symptoms...

the program caught 600+ spywares anyway

 

WHOA!! 600 in one scan.....that's a hell of alotta spyware

 

I've been told to use both Adaware and Spybot. By themselves, they don't get all of the spyware, but I'm told together they get most of it.

 

The best way to not getting vira or spyware is to use another browser then IE. 95% of the shit that floats aroun out on the interweb is taking advantage of the flaws in IE.

 

I just started using firefox, it has a pop-up blocker of it's own,
I think I can get used to firefox, It's really cool

 

Hi.
I used to use Adaware but recently switched to Pest Patrol This works wonders. But beware what you delete. Keep it on Quarantine for a while, else you screw up your Registry / Windows.
Take Care,
Fireworkz

 

Just for future reference's sake, what other browsers are there bar IE?

 

Firefox. Visit www.mozilla.org and download it. The newest version is .9, but it doesn't have as much compatibility as version .8 has.

 

I had this problem awhile ago.

If you're getting pop ups when your browser is closed then it isn't related to you internet browser but to your Windows OS, your internet connection, and some program that's open (such as Kazaa). I'm just assuming right now that you have Windows XP because that's were I had my problem. The pop up stems from a program built into Windows XP that is turned on by default when Windows XP is first installed. As long as you're connected online you will keep getting these "pop ups". In order to get rid of these pop ups you'll need to turn off the Messenger Services (not to be confused with MSN Messenger ). There are details about how to turn the service off and also some more information about what turning Messenger Services off does: http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/arch...ic/11211-1.html
I think these pop ups only come out when you're running a program that is sending them out. I think Kazaa use to do this at one point that is why I keep refering to it. I'm sure other programs are using this pop up method so you may need to do some deducing work of your own to find the source program.


I hope this helps in getting rid of the pop ups.

 

the first time i used it i had 1400 then a week later i had 800 >.>

 

Thank You!!
