wymberley Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Guys, I'm a computer dummy and the Subject mob are driving me mad with the 'pop-ups. I've got my 'block popups' on and the only reference to them now, as I've got rid of them from elsewhere, is in the Control Panel, Programmes, Uninstall A Programme list but it doesn't work. Any ideas, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Run a couple of cleanup utilities. Ccleaner (from piriform) and Spybot Search and Destroy are both good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 These are for Firefox, if your running a different browser, do a Google search... Ghostery is worth installing aswell, stops all the trackers/widgets/advertising etc. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Guys. I'm running Firefox so whacked 'em both on. EDIT: But it didn't work. I had a problem a few days ago and downloaded a couple of programmes which proved to be pointless (like I said, dummy) one of which was Secure Search or somesuch. Just deleted it which then let me uninstall PCSpeedBoost. Sorted, but I'll leave the two addons in place. Cheers.

CaptainBeaky Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 you could try NoScript as well... Stops unwanted java scripts running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
