A thing that says My Presario Club pops up when I hit it. It'll even open up a browser if it isn't up. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

If you own a Presario computer, it's pre-installed on your machine.  Here's a link to HP's FAQ about it:\n\nhttp://www.hp.com/united-states/cpc/presario/connections_faq.html#19\n\nIf you don't own a Presario, run a full virus and spyware scan.

Its to do with your security settings, go into tools then options then click on the security tab and take a look for anything obvious there, there should be one about opening attatchments...

Go back to the the games page and choose a lounge. This time when the pop-up blocker comes up click on it and you should see a few options. One should be to temporarily shut off the blocker. you want to pick this one. Try right clicking on it if the other dsoesn't work.

you may have a pop up blocker preventing it from showing up in a new window

Sounds like you have a virus or some spyware loaded on your computer. Try running your antivirus software and also run Ad-aware or spy-bot. Then a good program to run is called hijackthis.

dowload Yahoo! toolbar @ http://toolbar.yahoo.com it has a good anti-spyware and pop-up blocker. that's what i use and i don't get any pop-up. just scan your PC frequently with the toolbar anti-spyware to clear the spywares on your PC that causes the pop-ups

DON'T DO IT!  It is likely a pop-up ad that is either spyware, or will take you to a spot and tell you to buy this special software to fix a non-existent problem.  These pop-up ads are total rip offs.

is it the sbc yahoo browser only? how about internet explorer? if it's okay with IE- then it's the sbc yahoo browser that needs to be uninstalled and re-installed but if it's your IE and the whole pc turns off- you should have someone check your pc then

If you downloaded that program it is already to late. You probably just downloaded spyware to your computer.  Chances are now they want to sell you something to get rid of it.\nIf you want a program that might help you a little. Download Lavasoft Ad-aware. it won't cure your problem. It will help you manage it.

I've got news for you guys, clicking on the little red X in the upper right hand corner causes the Form_Unload event to fire and your little virus still has all the time in the world to screw you. The safest thing to do is to immediately power off your machine!!!

first of all it sounds like you have your security set too low. Go to Tools - internet options - security - click default level\n\nyou also want to run Ad-aware and Spybot. If you still have probs run Hijack This

you gotta have pop-up blocker, i think most internet security softwares have this feature.

It was probably it's own form of spyware.  that happened to me on my last computer.  I kept getting these horrible pop-ups and windows that would open when I turned on my computer telling me I had viruses and trojan horse programs, but the only crappy program I had was that self-replicating impossible-to-get-rid-of annoying pop up.  It was a virus program (the repair guy said) and it (the pop up) wanted money to buy it's removal service.  Taught me to be careful of clicking on any unknown link.  I have no idea how I ended up with that thing on my computer or why my security program didn't catch it.

it looks a bit strange in Opera browser, the "Recently Viewed Items" overlap the code box and the register/login links, but otherwise looks fine.

PRobably to fool spam filters. Why are you opening it anyways? you could get a virus and just open the door for more spam when you click on them.

The guy that mentioned the adware is probably right. Those types of programs (cutesy cursors, free screen savers) are usually also monitoring your surfing habits and reporting back to an ad server so that they can send you targeted advertisements in addition to the ones you'd normally see on a web site. \n\nYour newer computer is probably more likely to have some sort of adware/spyware blocker on it (Microsoft started including one of its own within the last year or two), and *that* could be blocking the installation... although if that were the case, I would also expect you would see a popup warning message from the adware blocker, so I dunno if that's what's happening or not.\n\nBottom line, though, is your computer is much better off without it. Might I suggest some adware-free smileys?\n\nhttp://paul.merton.ox.ac.uk/ascii/smileys.html

Have you tried deleting your computer's cache, maybe cookies? I turned off my browsers pop-up so I just enter the symbols I need when I need it without having a box popping up.
