Plz help, Pop-ups

[ci5ic]

thanks heep!

Where can I get Kazaa Lite? I've been to Kazaalite.com, but looks like I gotta pay to download it... Is that the only way? I thought it was freeware.

Try mIRC or...pay for it lol.

And dang there isn't one free site out there anymore with it on there.

will these new browsers stop all the pop-ups? even the ones that happen when im not even surfing the net?

[Neutrino]

well the ones that happen when you are not surfing the net are caused by spyware so no the browsers won't stop those.

You need to use ad-aware and spybot to get rid of your spyware

the browsers like mozilla will get rid of your regular internet popups

The ones you're seeing when not surfing the net are from a built in messenger service in Windows that was intended for Microsoft support guys to use to help you with Windows problems, but has basically been taken over by spammers. It's not actually spyware, so Ad-aware won't do anything about it. You need MessageSubtract: http://www.intermute.com/bin/ms/msg.exe

Oh, and Ci5ic, I think every site that hosts KLite wants you to pay for it now...I'd send it to you if I had it, but all I can suggest is looking for it on regular Kazaa

Thanks.

Also, something to be aware of is that if you are using regular Kazaa and you use Ad-aware or a similar program, Kazaa won't work anymore.

So um... KazaaLite is a program right?

I went to KazaaLite.com to try and get it, and it said I had to pay, so I did, but KazaaLite is not one of the programs I can download... I can download BearShare, WinMX, Blubster, Grokster, eDonkey, etc. but no KazaaLite... ?!?!?!

Yeah it is a program like Kazaa with no adds, too bad I don't have the install file I could find someone to host it or something or even send it to you.

i would say go to www.google.com and get the google toolbar...it lets you search easilyer and also blocks popups...and best of all...its free!

I use the Google toolbar with pop-up blocker and it works incredibly well.

In fact it blocks so well that if I get a private message I have to hold the control key down while clicking “yes” to open message in a new window.

I prefer Alexa as my pop-up blocker. Whenever there's a pop-up from a site I've never been to before, it gives me the choice to allow it or block it, and I can tell it whether or not it should remember that decision. For example, I have all AF pop-ups allowed, but all geocities pop-ups blocked.

Hey spec... while you're on AF, click on the button that says "XXX blocked" and it will change to "Site Popups Allowed". That way, you won't have to monkey with the ctrl key when you're on this site.

I never knew that! Thanks. Now I’ll just await my next private message and check that it’s all working!

[Spec2 Girl]

........and it works!

Google Toolbar is the best I've found. I downloaded it about 3 months ago and I haven't gotten a single popup since. Totally free, at google.com, but of course you know that site.
