Sick of pop up ads

Anybody esle sick of these pop up ads on here? :disappoin

if i had a hand to raise i would, and im sick of the q ad... and the one that makes noise, i dont think its here yet, but its annoying as hell

I agree with you guys, however I've always had popup blockers while on this site so I don't know what they are advertising for.

I don't like windows for the most part but I have to admite the newest version of winxp does have a good popup blocker built in

Quit using Internet Explorer and use Mozilla Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ . I have not gotten one single popup since starting to use it a year ago. It's a free download.

I haven't used it as a browser yet, but I just downloaded it a few days ago as a web page building program... and it's a nice program to work with.

Netscape is ok too

I'm using XP right now with the pop up blocker and my start task bar is filled with pop ups.

hey, y'all. Try using Norton system works or Norton Internet security. I do not get pop-ups 99% of the time on any site, and I get 0 percent here. on sites that have sponsored pop ups, Norton pushes them to the background, abd has a neat little trick of allowing you to drag it to the trash can and block that pop up forever.

i hate norton, such a big file it makes any computer run slower then its capabilitie, if you dont beleve me down load something, then turn off norton and re-download it, if you have a broadband connection it will run much quicker, if your on a dial up connection, your internet wont run faster, its only got like 50kbps anyways

If running internet security slows a broadband connection/dialup connection, you might want to check that disk monitor or disk doctor is not active. Internet security runs as a background utility, and uses virtually no RAM. The host program for Internet Security is a pagefile program and uses shared memory that is dependent on the bus speed of your disk. The running of IS is written to your startup file, and is stored in the registry. Visiting the Norton website can help diagnose these issues. I have a side business doing repair/installs for issues such as these, am A+ MCP and MCSE cert., and recommend this program to all my clients.

Just my :2cents:
I have learned many things from this web fourm, and have improved my own confidence when working w/ my 94 blazer playtoy. I just wanted to share any knowledge that I may have. Thanks.

What does this have to do with trucks anyways? Just make sure you pay attention when you install stuff like msn, yahoo, and aol messenger. There are check boxes that ask if you want yahoo tollbar and stuff like that. Most people just hit next until its done. Also, dont click on all that precision time and all those bull shit screensavers and things that claim your pc is running slow. Watch what you download.

general rule of thumb for people who dont "do" computers well, if you dont know how to diagnos a pc problem, then dont download things, stuff like weather bug are nothing but viruses waiting to happen

I haven't gotten any popups on this site with XP since I started running it 3 months ago, so you might have spyware giving you the grief.

Lavasoft has a good free spyware remover that might help you out

Get spybot search and destroy. It is just like lavasoft but it makes your system immune to some spyware.

Just used my spyware doctor and no infections were found.This is the only site where I get pop ups.

^ did you run in safe mode? alwase run in safe or diagnosis (sp!) mode for getting rid of viruses or spywere, and turn off the restart feature

No,I'll try it.

I too use Foxfire, I never have gotten a popup on this site with it.

Hardly ever use IE anymore.

It is possible you have viruses called "adware" running on your computer. Adware viruses monitor the types of websites you go to and then trigger their own websites to send you related pop-ups. Norton antivirus fixed it for me.

I have spyware doctor and it gets rid of spyware and adware.

Movin2, I was just looking in a Microsoft web page, and they have a service pack 2 that is suposed to help reduce popups
you can download it at http://www.download.com/Windows-XP-Service-Pack-2/3000-2098-10308947.html?part=winmp&subj=dl&tag=feed&jump=winmp

Ive got the same thing. What pop ups. I hardly ever get pop ups using that program.

Firefox...

This site has pop-ups? I have never had one. I use WindowsXP (I have the service pack 2 update, too). I use the AOL browser, which uses Internet Exploiter. I also use Firefox, sometimes. No matter which browser I use, I still don't get pop-ups, they don't even show up in my list of blocked pop-ups.

I also run Lavasoft AdAware (free version), Spybot Search and Destroy (free), Spyware Blaster (free), AOL Spyware Protection, McAfee Firewall, and McAfee VirusScan.

AdAware, Spybot S&D, and AOL Spyware Protection all find things that the others miss.

Spyware Blaster automatically adds malicious sites to the restricted sites section of your browser, so you are protected all the time even when the program isn't running. It keeps most spyware and adware from ever being installed.

You can download these for free:

Lavasoft AdAware (http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button)
SpyBot S&D (http://majorgeeks.com/download2471.html)

What pop ups????

Before I got my new computer with the newest version of Winxp I noticed my popup blocker working overtime on this site. So I know that there are lots on this site

Now I just get the odd flash that a popup has been blocked.

My only spyware detector is Ad-Aware by Lavasoft

I think most of the blocking comes from the XP service pack 2.

You definitely need more than one spyware detector.

I haven't had a problem since I deleted my cookies and did a clean up of temp files.

Always good to hear movin2. I know that pop-ups can be the most annoying thing

SpywareBlaster (http://www.download.com/SpywareBlaster/3000-8022_4-10372089.html?tag=lst-0-1[/url)

Spyware blaster is a dedicated immunizer that helps prevent spyware sites from getting on yer pc. Also I use the Google toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com/) which has a popup-blocker.

also try this great free utility to scan your pc for ad ware and spy ware. when you run it and get rid of the junk it finds youll not only get rid of most of your popup ads( any that are stored on your hard drive ) but your pc will run better. I use it all of the time.
