Pop up's
adam ant fan
it's driving me mad. It causes whatever I am doing to slow down while it is
opening up.
Where has it suddenly come from and how do I get rid of it? I have pop up's
switched off.
Thanks

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:
Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )
Get MalwareBytes and SuperAntispyware - install/download updates and do FULL
scans with them and remove what they find.
Update your antivirus software and do a full scan with it.
Ensure your Windows Firewall (or third party firewall of your choice) is
enabled and uncompromised.
Do a disk cleanup, empty all your Temporary Internet Files, and
defragment/CHKDSK your hard disk drive(s).
Come back here - tell us the result along with some information about your
system... Like Windows version (specific), Internet Explorer version, what
AntiVirus application you use, what your normal backup and maintenance
schedule looks like, etc.

That could be fairly confusing (or is this actually revealing?)

Then figure out what may have happened.

Yep, it's butts impersonating me, and he's even stated in other post
that he's going to do it and that not one person can do a thing about
it.
The headers have been sent to att and prodigy.

I use Firefox has a built in popup blocker along with
the AddBlock configurable addon. Works fine.
Jose
Yes - switch to Firefox for 99.9% of your browsing. Only use IE when
you must (like for some Microsoft pages).
The selection of add-ons for Firefox that enhance their pop up
blocking is really marvelous. There are things out there that don't
even exist for IE.
If you send a link to a WWW page that is driving you mad, we (or at
least I) can try it in IE and Firefox and see what happens.

I'd say there is an extremely good chance you have been infected by
malware of some sort. Update & run your AV of course, then run updated
spyware detectors & see what they find. One of them will likely find a
culprit for you. If you're not sure which ones to use or are safe to
use, just ask here; there are a lot of them available. And almost as
many opinions as to which ones are best<g>.
It's a good idea to have at least 3 of them in your arsenal since as
of yet there is no single one that detects them all. Actually it's not
likley there ever will be a single one for all cases; it's a huge
market. Each has their strenghts and weakness w/r to what/how they're
designed.

The OP was asked for more information about the problem and did not
reply.
Scanning software was suggested as step one. A good place to start.
Firefox was suggested as an option after step one was complete.
The OP has not responded to any requests for information or results of
any suggestions.
If the suggestions are followed, the browsing experience will probably
improve!

This not the MVP site despite its fake logos.
The correct MVP site is http://www.mvps.org/
