POP up problem (by 2 users)

Hi.  My favorite popup killer is AdShield available at
www.adshield.org

But the best popup killer in the world will not help you if your
computer has been hijacked.  Best place to start is by downloading and
using the excellent free spyware remover Spybot available at
http://security.kolla.de/

Here is more information about how malicious sites do this to your
computer and how to get rid of this garbage:

After you finally get your computer cleaned out you can either use my
favorite listed above or try one of these:

Hi Karen,

Popup stopper from Panicware is a good one, and free.
                       Good luck, Dan

a free one I use is called "POW!" from AnalogX ( www.analogx.com )

great utilities. You can customize which windows to close by the title in
the window. and it has some pre-programmed ones. Very small apps. the main
EXE is 77k. check it out

There are several programs available on the web that will rid you of
those pesky things.  My favorite is AdShield.  I'm sorry I can't give
you the URL for it but a Google search will find it I'm sure.

Good luck.

I used to use AdShield, and it's good. The only problem I had with it was I
couldn't control it.  It blocked ALL popups, even ones I needed to see.

I switched to Check-it 86 by SmithMicro (www.smithmicro.com).  It's $20, but
I like the fact that if I want to see a pop-up, I just hold the control key
down before I click on that link.  There are other things like that too.  I
know it's not free, but hey...you get what you pay for.
