I'm still getting pop-ups. Anyone else getting them?

I'm still getting the Bush pop-up and maybe some more even though I've downloaded the Google pop-up thingy.

No pop-ups here.

I haven't noticed Popup Stopper squelching any today...

I just had a pop-up try to open my media player. my firewall caught that one. guys, it's a bit ridiculous. i hope you get it straightened out soon. maybe you can set up your own ad server if you're outsourcing.

Google has stopped 9 today but some are still popping up. I just got one about consolidating your accounts. Oh, and by the way, when I'm on other boards today I don't get the pop-ups.

Micro-soft internet explorer is killing me for the past week.Aol is my browser and they have their own pop-up control but evidently it isn't working.

Methinks I'm gonna have to make a call to them; this is such utter nonesense that I'm having to endure!

Think I'll go over to Wal-Marts and watch the trucks unload!

It's really odd, because I can see PS blocking them, but I'm not seeing it. Yesterday, however, one managed to install an adware Trojan that tried to "phone home" to Globalads.com about every 15 seconds, until I rubbed it out. I have my firewall set to prompt me when any program I haven't approved tried to get out, but this one was ridiculous - every 15 seconds!?!?

I have used Crazy Browser when surfing the net and found it to stop 99% of the popups.... it works like IE and even incorporates all of your "Favs" into it for easy access.... heres the link for the download.... http://www.snapfiles.com/get/crazybrowser.html it also has some info about it there....

I think the surest way is to invest a little and get a personal firewall or router. Norton makes a good combination of virus protection and personal firewall...plus it has pop-up blockers. I have the Norton PF and never see a pop-up on here anymore.

I use the google toolbar at work and it does a good job, but I don't want the spyware on my home PC.

This may come as a shock for some but
every now and then I have pop ups that
come up on computer screen and the funny
part is they have something to do with
porn websites that I have never seen before.

You may not have logged on that site, but some malware, probably a popup, or even dragging your mouse across the wrong dialog box, has planted a trojan-like file on your machine that's producing the popups. If you download SpyBot (free) from PCWorld or CNET, it'll find and stop it. I had a friend that got one on his work computer - it promised three strategic inches on a vital anatomy part. I was helping him get rid of it when one of the government auditors happened by (his company does a lot of government contracts). While she was in front of his machine, it popped up. He said that the explanation was very awkward and he didn't think she believed him...
