Gryph Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Get Firefox. It still blocks out most pop ups. I still haven't gotten any yet but some people are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 That means you have some major spyware. What anti-spyware program do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I use IE and install Google Toolbar.They can block pop-ups effectively too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corn99 Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 i would say minor adware cause it only shows pop ups for like the 1 min then stops bothering ,i have those free spyware tools dont remember which but this is just harmless cause norton took all the bad crap out.this would be classified as annoying.

Robert Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) Are they pop-unders? There was a thread about this vulnerability somewhere. *edit - here: http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12029 if the popups just turn up out of nowhere, and you're not even running your browser, it's either messenger spam, or you've still got some adware in your computer.

Agozer Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Yeah, sounds like pop-unders to me. Firefox still blocks "normal" popups, but pop-unders are just plain evil. There's not much you can do about those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ad-Aware usually works for me, but your probably tried that already didn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
