Pop up adds everywhere all the time on my screen when i am on this forum. are others having this problem also?
-
Nope I don't have that problem. Congrats you've picked up a virus or malware somewhere. You will need to run some good antiviral on your computer to clean it.
Maybe Packlithic can get it taken care of for you.
-
nothing here; can't help with a cure either, sorry.

You might need a pop up blocker or an Ad Blocker Frank ! Do a google search for them .

If he has Firefox he can install Ad Block Plus. It's a miracle worker.
-
no way would i install anything to this place like that.
no way no how.
Right now when you read this, press and hold the left ctrl & shift buttons (HOLD THEM DOWN) then hit delete once.
now in the drop down menue select EVERYTHING and hit enter or clear now.
I would say run crap cleaner too. Its at http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

The problem has to do with Firefox getting reset by ads. The fix is to reset firefox back to the factory settings. Very annoying, but fixed (again).

I use Firefox and have not encountered that problem. I installed Adblock plus which is a Firefox ad-on and it works like a charm.

Thanks , all fixed now.

I use Firefox since it came out and all I ever had was AVG Free. Never had any problem with popups ever despite on being in questionable sites from time to time. :icon_tongue: I think, quite a lot of add on's and viruses come precisely with all those "solutions" that your folks download in the name of security. :icon_sunny:

There is a standard setting someplace in there for not allowing pop ups, I don't remember if that is a default setting or not but my guess is that is what fixed the problem for him.
