I have Earthlink DSL and am having a problem with POP-UP
Ads. I use POP-UP Blocker which works very well while I
am browsing the internet. The problem is when I am not
browsing. About every hour, a new POP-UP appears on my
screen. I have tried deleting cookies, files, temporary
internet files, etc. but nothing seems to work. Can
anyone help me get rid of these anoyances?

Thanks
 
Hi welcome to the club! As one other poster stated that
if they are a gray box and have something
like, "MESSENGER SERVICE" in the title bar its coming
from Microsoft messenger! I run Spybot and it has not
found anything to do with this.... Its another example of
Microsoft NOT doing its job to protect the poor user....

The funny thing that I get is that the 2 most commen ones
I get are from companys trying to sell me thier anti-
popup software or from a university!

I dont have a solution other than stopping the messenger
service.....

What needs to happen here is that Microsoft needs to
prevent this on thier end... As a note! I would NEVER buy
software from a company that uses the tactic of popups!
Especially if they are trying to sell me a service to
prevent what they use to sell thier product!
