So I got on the computer this morning to check my emails (to see what fun car parts I'd ordered had shipped out).. absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Now, I get back on 9 hours later, and it's popup city (I've only been on hcf, so I don't know if it's site-related or what). I ran a spyware scan and it came back with over 100 cases... now, the popups aren't nearly as bad, but since scanning (and quarantining/deleting the cases), I've still had a few popups, along with a "The page you are viewing is trying to close this window. Do you wish to close this window?" message.... is anybody else having problems like this, or am I the only one? Any suggestions?

 

are you using FireFox or IE?

I have firefox and never really get pop ups

 

- What search engine do you use? my Google toolbar has a pop-up blocker, I just click on it to allow or block pop-ups, install google tool bar

 

IE... and what's confusing me is the popup blocker I have normally works... it hasn't come up to show me that a popup has been blocked at all today.. it just lets the popups through.

EDIT: and I have a google toolbar thing... 37 popups blocked so far (but it's still letting them through)

 

use firefox: much safer and faster browsing.additionally, with firefox, get adblock plus and ALL ads/banners you might see online will be gone for good.

 

^ yeah, I'm downloading it right now... hopefully I won't have any problems with it.

 

Where can i get this add block plus?

you'll be asked to restart firefox. once you do that, it'll ask you to "subscribe" to a list that is constantly being updated with new ad images and banner addresses. choose the US list and you're set to go

 

Someone had the same problem as you.

yeah... I'm using firefox now, and the popups are still coming through... this is really starting to **** me off
