PC: Pop-Up Problem - PSO-World.com Forums

I am having a problem with one pop-up. I use Mozilla Firefox 0.8 (so that has a built in pop-up blocker). I have run both Ad-Aware and Spybot multiple times, and have quarentined/whatever everything they came up with. I only get one pop-up and it appears only occasionally at one certain site. It opens in a new window (when I have FF set to open everything in new tabs). I can close the ad, but it often comes back as soon as I move the mouse to do what I was about to do(multiple times too).

Is there anyway I can stop this extreamly annoying pop-up ad?

Yuck those are nasty. Well id suggest my Blocker but it doesnt stop that one either.

These Pop-up people are getting smarter and smarter. >>; For now id just minamize the ad until you leave that said site. So it'll stop poppin up.

If you know which particular site that it pops up when you visit, then I'd suggest disabling javascript before you get on that site. It should work.

I reccomend using Ad Aware or Spy Sweeper. Those are two good programs for getting rid of spyware.

If you reread my first post carefully, you would see I ran Ad-Aware (twice), and Spybot Search and Destroy (twice).

Neither were able to fix this problem. And it is only one specific pop-up.

Get a firewall

I'd suggest Norton. Kills absolutly every popup immaginable. And it's easy to disable if the need comes around to it. I use it, and I've never gotten a popup. What's cool about it too is that it doesn't kill popups that iniate downloads to your computer, or popups from links you click like many popup killers do.

Oops, sorry.

Try this spyware scanner... it requires you to delete things manually, but the scan takes seconds and sometimes finds things other programs don't (like, for me, WinPup, which might be the one causing you problems.) Try it, its great. http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner...ource=appvisit

I suggest Spy bot. It finds adware and kills it quick. I love that little programe. It's well worth finding.

READ MORE CAREFULLY!!! I already said twice that I used Spybot on more than one occasion.

I may try that one Inner.
