http://live.pirillo.com/ - Unwanted pop-ups are annoying and hard to get rid of. Kyleboose has a problem with pop-ups: "Hi Chris, I'm having problems with pop-ups in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I just installed a new security system which has a pop-up blocker but I still get them. Do you have any recommendations or any software that could help?"
Although pop-up blockers are nice to have, they're really not needed, since both Firefox and Internet Explorer have built-in pop-up protection. In addition, your security suite has a pop-up blocker. So, there's a good chance that your pop-up problem isn't related to your browser but to your operating system. In other words: you may have a spyware problem.
Chris suggestions running the security suite's anti-virus and spyware tools.
If you don't have any anti-virus installed, we suggest trying either Nod32 or AVG Anti-virus. Chris also has some anti virus software suggestions you should check out.
Once your anti-virus software is finished running, your next step is to run some anti-spyware software. Both Spybot S&D and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware come highly recommended from the chat room.
Do you have any suggestions for stopping stubborn pop-ups?
