Title: BOTHERSOME POP UPS....:+(
Post by: Danny on May 21, 2013, 12:22:54 pm

Just about EVERY site I go to will have this window with advertisement.  Also other
type of pop ups.  Is there something I can do to stop this?  Danny  :+(

Now I am no guru but have had this some times and it was usually after downloading something free, if you go to the control panel and then add/remove software you might find a new little program of which is related to shopping and just remove it
just a thought

Used to get this with ie.

i installed firefox.  you can go to add ons and look up pop up blocker and install that in a few seconds for free and that takes care of it.

i might get one pop up every couple days now.
