Pop Up's
I have started to get those nasty, annoying "Pop up's: whenever I look at something in a link to "Image shack". They seem to be "Piggy backed" onto the photos themselves.
I run two seperate programs to block this ****, but it seems that the ests have found a new way of invading my life. Even though I get rid of them every time I look at an "Image shack" photo, they still come back.
Anyone else having this problem???
Anyone else been able to block this junk??
I am running "spy Bot", and "spyware X-terminator"
Doug, any input????
Mike

Try Microsoft Windows Defender. It is a free download and it has a clean and trap function.
hope it helps.

Firefox
Firefox is blocking pop ups for me pretty nicely.

Agree on Defender...been using it for awhile.
When I use Imageshack I just link to the one picture...not using the thumbnail option lately. No popups.

Firefox is the way to go - IE is rubbish  . IE is not built for the users, it's built for Microsoft.
Unfortunately, a few sites have delayed pop ups which are even able to get past firefox. Therefore I use Firefox + the free adblock extension (see Tools/Extensions). I leave ads on for all sites, until they try to burn me with a pop up. Then I go to the adblock menu item and block all ads from that site and the ad server that served em to me. |

Thanks
Doug, Thanks for moving my post.
Any idea on the pop up thing?? It just started happening 2 or 3 days ago, previously they have never been a problem.

Since installing Windows Defender (free from MS) about 9 or 10 months ago (was originally called Microsoft Anti Spyware), haven't had a single pop up.
