Please help to block pop-up windows
Hi all,
I am running Window XP SP2. I have recently experienced with some pop-up windows that occur when I was viewing some of the websites. This have never happened before. I have done almost everything, but the problem is never resolved. Here are what I have tried to do: - installing google toolbar and enabling pop-up blocker - having my pop-up blocker turn ON and setting Filter Level to HIGH - trying to use SpyBot SD, Norton Antivirus 2007, SpywareDoctor 2007, Ad-Aware Pro 2007 to scan my laptop to kill spyware, adware or any virus But, all of that did not help me much. The pop-up windows still come up back then. I do not know what else should I do to resolve it. Can anyone gives me any suggestion? Thank you. cobeoctieu As a note: my Ad-Aware Pro 2007 detected some viruses after I tried a full scan on my laptop, but it was not be able to remove them. I tried to check the box and pressed Remove button, but they have never been removed. |

Have you tried Firefox? First - make sure you have NOT installed "Rogue AntiSpyware". There are people out there who created AntiSpyware products that actually install spyware of their own!

Regarding to the IE version, I am running Internet Explorer version 6.0. Sorry, I did not mean Ad-ware, but AdAware. I already had it and Spybot Search & Detroy. I will download the rest three that you suggested and give them a try. Do I need to run them under the SAFE MODE? Thank you. cobeoctieu |
