How to turn on or off pop up blocker?

How do you turn on the pop-up blocker in Windows XP?

  • I have had my computer for 4 years, and I never got pop-up ads until 3 days ago when my brother went on MySpace. He got infected with something that looked like porn that froze up my computer for a while and was stubborn to get rid of. But now I keep getting pop-ups. I did a full virus and spyware scan last night, quarantined some viruses, but I still get pop-ups.

  • Answer:

    A page from that probably changed your popup blocker setting on your browser, which is where the popup originates. Turn it off in your browser. In Firefox, go to the Tools menu and select Options (Internet Options in Internet Explorer). In Firefox, the Content menu has a checkbox to stop popups.
