What are pop-ups in my computer?

Recently a rash of popups started occuring on my computer. What can I do to stop these interruptions?

  • As I work on or off the internet, multiple popups make it difficult to finish any task with ease. Is there anything that I can do or punch without having to subscribe to those costly programs?

  • Answer:

    i think you might have a virus. yes, those can be a pain, trust me i learned it the hard way. download a virus scanner like ad-aware or AVG free and scan your computer and delete/destroy the viruses! (: and a popup blocker will work too! just be sure to remember to allow certain sites if they run on popups..like if the site is a popup window! (:

Most browsers have a built in pop-up blocker, but it is usually a poor one. The google toolbar and the yahoo toolbar both have excellent blockers, and running them simultaneously will almost ensure that you never see them. I personally use them both.

Download Yahoo toolbar and you will get a free pop up blocker!
