XG Fox Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 1) Get Firefox. I VERY RARELY get popups. 2) See 1. 3) See 2. 4) See 3. 5) Firefox has an extension that's downloadable through their main site called Adblock, it works wonders. It block popups and you can even block the ad banners on the pages. 6) See 4. 7) See 6. And if you already have Firefox, then click ther little icon by the X button in the top right hand corner to go to Firefox's main page, then on the top right side of that page click extensions, and search for one called Adblock. Download it, install it by restarting firefox, and you should be good to go. Also, if you're converting over to Firefox, it will import all your settings and bookmarks from Internet Explorer, so don't worry about losing those. Any more Firefox questions, ask me. I know quite a bit about what all you can do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Don't jump to the browser thing without knowing everything. More info please: Does this happen just randomly? Like you don't even have to be in your browser and you see it? Content of the popup and what is in it's title bar. What websites (if applicable) you see it on. Are you running spyware and virus scanners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 well i am getting bad pop up and we have a popup blocker but its no working my parents dont know what to do soo can someone pleas help me well I don't know but I have a us robotics router that works as a fire wall, popup blocker(when configuired a ertain way),can keep track of band width (for servers),serve as a virtual server(some glitchs in that),log every atempt of access to your comp. and this is my fav part with DDNS,WAN,LAN settings you can change your ip at will (I think a few of the mods or admins have noticed ip changes but it not because of the isp ) so basicly it's very secure but being so secure it's not so easy to let browsers in thats why most people can't see my W.S. but if plug it in to the lan jack then I have no control of the comp ip or who can get in out an in between) and for 29.99 or if not go here http://www.popswatter.com/?partner=ZPxdm157&spu=true http://www.pcworld.com/resource/infocenter/0,ctrid,7,ic,SpywareandSecurity,tk,pcw_01-security,00.asp http://www.myzips.com/listings/Popup-Blockers/Internet/164/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
