If it's not spyware how to remove pop ups from my computer??
82128
Hi! I have a few good programs (that I have been trying thoroughly over the past few months) that are great for removing pesky spyware from your pc.  Either of the following two would work fine:\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy:\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nLavasoft Adaware Personal Edition:\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\nAlso, in the upcoming version of Windows (named Vista), there is a chance we may have antispyware software integrated at no extra fee! (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx )\n\nAnd finally, CCleaner (CrapCleaner) is a great freeware programming for deleting junk files, effectively speeding up some areas of your PC that can slow it done over time.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com\n\nGood luck, you won't regret using these programs.

Don't use Internet Explorer. \n\nUse Spybot Search & Destroy, and also Adaware. They will help get rid of spyware, adware, other malicious programs you don't want. \n\nUse Firefox for safer browsing. You won't get popups, or spyware.

If you are using IE7, go to tools--->pop-up blocker--->Turn off pop-up blocker.\n\nIf you are using firefox, go to tools--->option--->content--->uncheck the box written with block pop-up windows.\n\nHope that helps!

Try Adaware or Spybot Search and Destroy. They are free. Download at the sites below.

try an anti spy ware program, run it  and let it delete it if possible... a week ago I had  some darn ad ware that invaded my PC... kept giving me pop ups and redirecting my browser... I tried everything to get rid of it  went searching thru every file etc... some of these   things embed themselves so deeply its almost impossible to remove them !  finally I had to to a total system restore... it was the only thing that worked ... so if all else   fails, save all your files to a disc  or floppy , then  do what I did.... it was worth the time it took to re-install everything... my PC is now clean !!

Download a popular spyware/adware removal program (such as Adaware or Spybot Search & Destroy). Just pick one from this website, download it, and run a scan: http://www.download.com/Spyware-Center/2001-2023_4-0.html?tag=dir\n\nafter you're done with the scan, remove the adaware and spyware that is found by the program

Even the best popup blocker will not stop popups that are generated by malware that has infected a computer.\n\nDo all 3 of these:\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\n3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

I use "Ad-Avare SE" and "Advanced Spyware Remover".  They are both free and seem to work well.

Get yourself a decent antivirus and antipopup like Norton, Symantec. \nSince I have it, no more popups etc...

Would suggest doing a search for a program called "Adaware" which is a free spyware removal tool.\n\nAlso look into downloading the newest version of Yahoo! Companion toolbar with the Pop-up blocker AND Anti-Spy spyware search feature.\n\nLook into purchasing a virus scan program that detects spyware (most of them do now a days) and also you'll want a firewall if you do a lot of online searching and shopping, this stops a lot of spyware.\n\nAlso look into downloading the Mozilla Firefox web browser. It's an amazing alternative to Internet Explorer. Firefox is faster, safer, and has loads of more features built right in INCLUDING spyware protection and pop-up blocking.\n\n\nSimply put, if's it's not a spyware problem. The Yahoo Companion toolbar catches 95% of them for me, and that would the simplest solution. But you may already be using that as your pop-up blocker.

Try these. They work and they are free:\n\nRun the tool and then download the free spyware and virus protection programs:\n\nMalicious virus removal tool:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx\n\nAd-Aware Free download:\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/...\n\nAVG Download free\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nYahoo Toolbar has good pop-up blocker:\nhttp://toolbar.yahoo.com/\n\nGood Luck

your actual problem is not the popups but what is causing them. you need to install a spyware remove (Ad-Aware and Spybot are two free ones I recommend). Those will kill the programs causing the pop ups. Then install Firefox, it will block pop ups that are caused by the sites you visit.

generally the popup blockers are installed as 'toolbars' on the top of your browser. \n\nright click on empty space on your toolbars and see how many additional toolbars are 'checked' or 'unchecked'\n\nlook for 'search toolbars' like Yahoo, Google or any other crappy toolbar, most of them have popup blockers. \n\nThe other thing is that the browser that you are using will have a built in popup blocker. Depending on the browser you are using, check its help files to verify if the popup blocker is turned on or off.\n\n\nThe other thing you can do is, \nclick on start\nclick on 'control panel'\nclick on 'add / remove programs' \nand in the list, look for any additinal 'search' or 'toolbar' programs installed. if they are, then uninstall the unwanted programs. \n\nThe other thing you can do to temporarily override the popup blocker settings is to press the 'ctrl' key while accessing webpages with popups. \n\nhope that helps.

i assume you mean the popup history for Internet Explorer, click 'Tools', 'Internet Options', 'Delete Cookies', 'Delete Files' and 'Clear History'.  press done/ok and thats it!
