Pop Ups!!!!
 

I have the latest XP and IE but still get pop ups all the time...really bugging me!! Can anyone help with recommending a free pop up stopper that works?

Get FireFox!

Or alternatively run a spyware scan. :tu:

If none found, and you really still want to use IE. Check out PopOops - search it on google. :)

google tool bar is pretty good at blocking popups.

In my case I use the 'noscript' addon with Firefox, as well, which blocks things like google syndicated ads, also.

Go to Start} settings}control panel}add/remove programs}windows components. Scroll right to the bottom and untick the box which says Windows Messenger.} restart your pc. :)

Firefox is pretty good at clearing Popups.
The Adblock plugin is another add-n for Firefox for disabling popup ads.

Also make sure you have got anti spyware/ adware applications installed to make sure nothing is beinbg triggered to launch adverts and spam.
Lavasoft Adaware is free and a good tool for scanning and removing spyware/adware.

As above make sure you do a thorugh scan using multiple tools as a lot of pop ups occur due to systems being infected with spyware. Once you are clean then Google toolbar is a good start.
