I am having problems with pop ups, but why? - rh205 - 05-09-2013 10:40 PM I have recently found that pop up windows are appearing when i click on links on various websites. These links are not pop up links. The pop ups are adverts selling: health pills, porn, social sites, casinos and free screen savers. I have the problem in Internet Explorer and Firefox both of which are the latest versions and both have the pop up blocker enabled. I have done a virus and spyware scan but found nothing. What is happening? Please Help. - john - 05-09-2013 10:54 PM re-install your browser and then try again - Lindsay G - 05-09-2013 11:10 PM Your infected with spyware, go here and download this program to remove the spyware http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php - sali - 05-09-2013 11:25 PM you ahould have a good antivirus and spy doctor for pop ups rerun your antivirus and install a program for pop ups, search google. - Sly_Old_Mole - 05-09-2013 11:31 PM Add firefox noscripts: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 Then tell us what antispyware programs you used, because I believe you have some spyware. - Jollywish218 - 05-09-2013 11:37 PM Use one or both of the following, one at a time.
