yesterday, while visiting my favorite site, a bunch of popups (about 8) came up, one after the other. (nothing offensive, though) i closed each one, but then, when i went to a different site, the same popups came back up again. is there anything i can do?

What OS, which browser? :)


Shalom,

windows 98 - internet explorer

I strongly urge you to use Mozilla Firebird. It has a builtin pop-up blocker; it surpasses IE in many ways . =)

i'll try it - thanx

Shivers :} ... there's ample products out there that
will also help you with pop-up blocking and spy-ware
stopping, some of them are free, too.

have a look at http://www.downloads.com

Your on a forum that mainly uses Linux.. why not install Linux? Use Linux? Etc?

i'm throwing out this computer in about two weeks, and getting a new one which i'll probably install linux in, so it just doesn't pay to install linux now, and get rid of it shortly after.

I'm beginning to wonder if ChasidishHarry is a new troll. He sure seems to be posting a ton of goofy stuff about Windows.

Hmm.....


On another note, how about NOT throwing your PC away and just keeping it. Then you could have 2. You could dedicate one to Linux

what are you talking about?

Try Opera, it has all kinds of features and after setting up preferences youll never get popups.

probably because YOU ARE posting window's Q's on a linux forum.

A lot of people don't mind, but it may be considered "Trolling" by some (especially when there are loads of windows places, to ask windows questions) - and the best comment is the one about not throwing the old computer out - network it.

In fact, install linux on it now and start learning, then worry about windows later - you can do VIRTUALLY everything under linux and would "hold you in better stead" when the new computer arrives.

Oh, and apart from mozilla, you could also try Opera as that's got popup stoppers as well.

Good luck

John

thanx again, guys
