Getting Rid of Pop Ups

Could someone help me with pop ups on my PC? They are driving me crazy. It started about a week ago. Not one will pop up, but several. Almost seems like it starts with a Microsoft Ex pop up. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

RE: Getting Rid of Pop Ups

Usually, if you have that many popups, not all the time, but most, you have some kind of virus or adware on your computer.
One, Do what many have said and download Firefox, yes, it will probably take a few days to learn ALL of the options that you will use on a regular basis, but this browser works wonders. I have also not had a pop up in forever.
Two, download "adaware" or "Spybot:Search and Destroy" programs and run them. I am sure it will find something malware-related on your computer.
Above all, Don't click on popups unless 1) you know it was supposed to pop up, or 2) to hit the UPPER MOST X to close it.
If you still need help email me at ashley.foster4922 @ gmail . com with a subjec that I could easily figure out ... i get a lot of spam and go crazy with the delete button! lol
Hope that helps!

Oh, I feel for you. I used to have the same problems. Firefox will help you.
It's also an affiliate program and they pay you $1.00 for every person you get to join under your username.

I use Yahoo as my main page, when you first click on the big E of Internet explorer. Yahoo has a free tool bar that has the anti pop up controller (cause sometimes you have to disable it to receive something you WANT to pop up) and it has a free virus scanner. All for free! Just go to Yahoo and download it.

visit www.abundantlifeessentials.com/free_computer_info.htm and download free mozilla firefox and stop using ie to use the web. Also download otherprograms you see a need for. Internet explorer causes all those pop ups. I have been using mozilla for 4 years and have not had 1 pop up. Aol, people pc, earthlink etc.. all use ie.
