It's hard for anyone to offer help without more
info.
Very reasonable. I should have supplied more data.
On Windows or in a browser? What browser?
In Firefox.
When online or not? At specific webpages?
We have a broadband connection, so she's always online. Apparently
it's not on specific webpages.
What's
the popup look like? (Can you take a screenshot?)'
I'll try to do that.
To stop them you have to know where they're
coming from.
That would help, but I don't think they want us to know...
