What sort of pop-ups do you get?

Post by **Oscar Namechange** » Tue Oct 06, 2009 10:52 am

Why do I get these for one? I have the highest level of security and a pop-up blocker and still get them.

I never get anything Interesting either.

I want to e mail these sites and tell them that NO... I do not want 'Red Hot males' or 'Girl on Girl on Girl action', or 'Dating for Hot females', or 'Make my man bigger in the trouser department'.

It's a brand new lap top so it doesn't have a history.

Who else gets this crap?

I don't.

Did you turn on your 'pop up blocker?'

I am not getting so many 'Pop Ups' these days.

It is probably my age.

Sounds like you've encountered some adware.

If you don't have Adaware or Spybot, download one or both, and use them to get rid of adware.

I use Adaware, and I stopped using Internet Explorer a few years ago in favour of Opera. I don't get pop-ups or adware since I switched.

Hi Richard

Loads of sites are offering this free, can you give me a link to the one you picked?

You're welcome. Pop-ups would make me crazier.
