Hi Technies,
2nd time today Ive asked for help...:o

I have both page, and message " pop ups" .. Have installed Spybot, and Adaware.. and ran them in safe mode..

Done a virus scan and installed Google, and Yahoo toolbars.. And they are still here!!

Any ideas please..

Thanks

you dont say which browser you are using if it is internet explorer 6 click on the tools setting, then look for popup blocker, popup blocker settings should be set to medium. Failing that a firewall like zonealarm or comodo firewall

make sure your version of windows is up to date

zonealarm is probably the easiest

Do you run https://www.windowsupdate.com, do you have service pack 2 installed, and the latest version of IE6?
