Cranfield Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Are the pop-ups coming on this Site ? Do a Google search for a free Pop Up Blocker, there are loads out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim38curl Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I had a lot of problems after i done a factory restore after getting a virus.One of the settings that was changed back to factory was my messenger setting which was previously disabled. To do this ( not saying that it will help but worth a try ) Right click on the MY COMPUTER icon Select MANAGE select SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS select SERVICES right click on MESSENGER and select STOP Guess this will stop you geting messages from friends as well but it's the only way that i know of. Maybe others here can refine this a bit. hope this helps. Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrie0 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Person...ubj=dl&tag=top5 Download that Mike and install it and run it , should sort you out and it's free but don't forget to update it just like your anti virus every week or so . Using the firefox web browser instead of internet explorer helps keep that spy and adware out as well http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ .
