POP UPS

[Pam]

How can I get rid of these annoying pop ups?
I am constantly getting other website popping up in
smaller windows offering everything in the world esp.
computer fixes, privacy detection etc.

What a pain!

Any ideas?

Thanks

You are not alone !!!

Try these sites for guidelines. I avoid most of this stuff by turning off
ActiveX although some sites insist on installing junk before you can use
them... things like online casinos etc. If that's the case then the popup
ads are the price you pay for their 'Freebies".
