Firefox popup question

[Larry Smith]

Hi,
I use Firefox as my browser.
It has built-in pop-up protection except that every day I get the
pop-up sequence for the ErrorGuard program. Is there anything short
of finding another browser that can be done to keep that pop-up from
occurring?
TIA

I use the Adblock extension and Filter Set G with Firefox, and I
haven't seen any kind of a popup for at least six months.

ErrorGuard is adware/spyware. It's not something you want on your computer.

Firefox blocks popups from the web. Programs that produce popups are
outside it's realm.

I don't have ErrorGuard on my computer rather it's that I get a spam
commericial for ErrorGuard.

Do you have your 'messenger' service turned off?

Scroll to end, open the one with the most recent and save as a text
file. Then in Firefox, clk Tools > Adblock > Preferences. Click
Adblock Options, then Import Filters and navigate to the text file you
saved.

I'm afraid I don't understand this question. Could you elaborate. I
don't see anything about messenger service in the Firefox options
listings.

See, e.g.:

BTW, please fix your sig separator. It should be
"dash" "dash" "space"
not four dashes.

Its not anything to do with firefox, its a system service.
