Hello Debs,
Simply solved, get onto AOL 9, I haven't had a single pop up or any spam in the last nine months. At a month its very cheap with no restrictions on how long you are on line. AOL's pop up and spam controls are fantastic, they really work. I don't even get adds for Viagra. lol

Do you work for AOL?? Or is there really someone out there who's happy with them lol

I believe that the XP service pack 2 has an automatic blocking pop up feature in it that you might want to try. You can get the pack from a bunch of different places, but I got mine from the cover disc of one of the Windows magazines for sale in Smiths. Might be worth a go.

My AOL (v8) works great. I use dial up when I work away.

Hello Sussexguy,
No I don't work for them, nor am I on commission. I have used AOL for the past four years and never had a problem with them at all.

That's clever thinking ... I downloaded it and even on broadband, it took something like 2 hours to download and then install itself!
As an alternative to this if you're not on XP, current versions of Nortons Internet Securtity combined firewall and antivirus blocks ads quite successfully. Never get them now which is a real bonus on some websites - even legitimate ones like thisislondon ...

I would check out your broadband connection if I were you. I downloaded and installed SP2 a couple of days ago using a 56k modem (I can't get broadband where I live) It took just 3 hrs to download and install. I'm using XP pro which shouldn't make any difference.

I tend to agree with Dean & Harry.

Dunno actually, the download was about 45mins, the install was the rest of the time. Going to upgrade to the faster 20x's connection that is now available. I think that even with broadband, downloads can vary depending on how busy the server is at the time so I'm not unduly worried.

Lemonade's fine Debbiewebs ... and I've informed the hotel and bar to order a case of R Whites Lemonade especially and exclusively for you ... :lol2:

Just an opinion Debs , but I reckon what you have is a variation on a little nasty called "cool web search" .
Its nowt to do with your ISP and is a very clever little bit of software which is on your machine . The spy-ware deleters and virus softwares dont get it because its cleverly running in the background all the time and denies access.
Ive had something similar and got rid of it with this

If that doesnt work , you need to do a google search for the file name , and the geeks on the message boards will have an answer , but try that first hun xx

I tried a few pop up stoppers and ended up sticking to using the google toolbar one. It blocks all pop ups by default. And you can hold down ctrl key when clicking on links to bypass this or add the site to a trust site and allow pop ups.

22 Sep 2004

There's 3 easy steps to getting shot of popups for good.
1 - install mozilla firefox, and ditch Internet explorer.
2 - do a full scan with an up-to-date AVG antivirus or similar.
3 - do a full scan with spybot seek and destroy, and get it to patch all the security holes it can.
Assuming your windows is kept up to date with security patches, you should be fine.
