GSXR 1000 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 OK guys is there a program I can down load to stop all these pop up ads? Thanks for the info Quote
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 i run lavasoft adaware i am sure that there are others that will clean your popup causing probs i also surf the web with opera sometimes called mozilla it has a pop up blocker built in i like it far better than internet explorer Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 go to, www.download.com type in pop up stopper, ull get a whoole bunch of free pop up stopper programs u can download. Quote
boonman Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Just be careful what you load. I had to clean up my cousin's computer because they infected her computer almost worse than the pop ups themselves. The adaware is what I run. It works damn good. Cleans shit out. I was sick of the save pop ups. Pissed me off. After adaware, no more... Quote
fixitrod Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Okay, you can run the free version of adaware from lavasoft to help clean up the internet spywear and adware they the web sited dump on your pc. A really effective free pop-up blocker is by downloading the google toolbar. I love it. It has a lot of features that don't use many resources of the pc. Get yours here http://toolbar.google.com/. Make sure you read about all the features. It will scan web pages for text, high light words your looking for, autofill name and adress. You'll love it once you get use to it. Quote
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 i search whit nothing but google hwo do people use anything less my web browser has a blank spot where you type in what you are searching for and you can select which search engine to use for the search Quote
fixitrod Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 stay outta porn sites. Hell no, you just have to know how to beat them. .. uh... Quote
jumpman23 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 i would suggest downloading spybot search and destroy. i found it to be better than lavasoft but that is my opinion. here is a link you can go to and just click download on the left hand part of the page. let me know if you have any questions.

ledofthezep Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 Go this link & 'download it' - save it to your computer, then install & run the program. Works kinda like an anti-virus program in the way it works, but doesn't do crap for viruses. It does work well for removing spyware & adware though....which is most likely to cause a lot of your pop-ups. http://www.ad-aware.com Quote
demsy Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 im running norton internet security 2004, its been working good so far. before i couldnt go 2 min with out 5 pop-ups.. well worth the time in installing. Quote
GSXR 1000 Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Posted January 30, 2004 Thanks for all the info I will try them out hopefully the will stop. Thanks again Quote
Wallrat Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 I run both ad aware and spybot. Both are free and no matter which one I run first, the other always finds something the other one missed. Download em both. Its free. Quote
mrmatt Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 I just installed adaware. It significantly reduced the number of pop-ups that appear. But I still get a few. I guess I'll have to try spybot as well. Quote
efward Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Zone Alarm personal firewall also has capability to block pop ups. Works great. Quote
