Default pop ups

Hi, Exactly the same is happening to me, nearly driving
me nuts..I'm also having problems with viruses and
parasites, and I can't get to install any windows
updates..going crazy. Back to the problem of pop-ups, I
haven't tried this yet, but it was in one of our national
newspapers today, PC Help Desk, somone with windows XP
asked the same question..Reply..There are no pop-up-
stopper options with windows, but there are many seperate
programs available for download. Visit
www.tucows.com/adkiller95_default.html
and look down the list(starting with the free ones of
course)
Hope this helps as I'm gonna try it myself shortly.
Bye Barbara

Default pop ups

actualy this problem is caused by a Program that was downloaded or imbedded into another program

it is a seperate program on your computer causing the pop-ups and you need to remove it

you may need to get a spywere removal program -- Doubleckick and other companies use the programs to see what pagees you are viewing and then send you appropriate Advertisment that go along with that page

this is why pop-ups are appreaing even on pages that do not have pop-ups
