Pop-up Ad's

[Bruce]

Recently Pop-up ad's are coming onto my desk top at a very
fequent rate. This was not happening before, but now I
can't stop tham. I am using the same home page (Yahoo) as
I always have but the Pop-up ad's and coming up all the
time now.

What happened and how do I stop them?

Your PC is probably loaded with spyware that is also hogging resources.

There is an excellent article about spyware in PC Magazine:

Their Editor's Choice is Spybot for spyware removal. It's free.

Also run a complete system virus scan with an up-to-date virus program.
