is there a way to control pop ups or stopping them using
xp without buying new programs?
.
you can download "pop up stopper" off of kazaa. free
If these are "Messenger" pop-ups, they can be banished by enabling the XP
built-in firewall (which should be done anyway). See HELP & SUPPORT for
easy instructions.
If this is a program that has been inadvertently installed on your PC,
running ADAware may enable its removal. http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Read the instructions, download, install and run the program. The basic
utility is free.
If the pop-ups are site-related - the page that is being visited - then a
pop-up blocker may help. http://google.com Search for "ad blocker".
Or install and use a new-generation browser that has pop-up blocking,
such as NetScape "streamline Navigator only" from http://sillydog.org/narchive
It will selectively block pop-ups and images, and is much more customizable
than I.E. For more...

Or visit http://mozilla.org for links to browsers using similar technology.
Dont use kazaa to download anything, thats how half the
ppl around he get virus'. just go to google.com and
search for "toolbar", download the new beta of Google IE
toolbar, it does a GREAT job stopping pop-ups, all for
free, and no dang virus'
