   A pop up blocker will not solve the problem

2. cdg1111us Said,

   You've got spyware and probably viruses, too. Buy a Mac.

3. Pookie Said,

   Just activate your pop up blocker to ban all pop ups. Works for me

4. Ouch2HOOT! Said,

   get the pop up blocker thingy!!

5. graeme b Said,

   I had the same thing, just get the latest updates for your anti spyware and run it worked for me. Oh and sending the company an abusive email made me feel better

6. music_man Said,

   i had the same problem. there are people getting sued for creating that virus. dis 1 lady'z computer actually came with the spyware that did that.

7. Foghorn Said,

   Sell them a toaster.

8. Northman Said,

   I had the same problem,go to freeware files.com download spy-bot search and destroy you probably have spyware on your computer,also go to tools -internet options-privacy,check to see if the slider set to medium high.

9. Ranteater Said,

   This is a problem suffered by lots of users. You have a spyware/trojan problem. Assuming you have antivirus & antispyware software you should be able to run them, identify the problem and delete it from the registry. Unfortunately, it may not be as easy as that, and just deleting the files will not work, they'll just come back. You may also find your internet home page altered. Try to identify the exact "culprit" & then go on the internet & try to find a fix for it. The good news is that although it's a nuisance it doesn't normally cause any lasting harm

10. oddball Said,

    If you want to do it correctly, go here. If not, you can do beer_farts method.

    Spyware you have so go to download.com and them download some free spyware a good one is ad-ware se because me and all my mates use it and have no problem.

12. brianthesnail123 Said,

    this could either be spyware or just a annoying pop up that is permanently on the site,as i am allways seeing adverts for spyware killers and your p.c has errors,i just ignore them
    a sweep with spybot(http://www.safer-networking.org/) and ewido(http://www.ewido.net/en/) will check your p.c for any spyware infection,but you will probally still get some pop ups as its part and parcel of some of these websites,they make their money by advertising these messages,so its just a case of trying to ignore them

13. Astra Said,

    . . . sounds like a Jehovahs Witness . . .

14. jibberjabar Said,

    Sounds like you have an older version of Windows (pre XP SP2). These type of popups often exploit the Windows Messenger Service, which after SP2 is disabled by default.
    A popup blocker "thingy" will be of no help in this case.

    You have 2 choices to end the problem.

    1. You can disable and stop Messenger Service by running services msc. on your computer.

    2. You can use the free utility called Shoot The Messenger to automatically disable this unnecessary service.

    Please note that Windows Messenger Service is not the same as any Instant Messenger program that you may have on your computer. Disabling it will not cause you to lose any IM functionality that you may have.

    Good luck.
