Even the best popup blocker will not stop popups that are generated by malware that has infected a computer.\n\nDo all 3 of these:\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\n3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

Sounds like spyware or adware that has taken up residence in your computer without your knowing. These come in secretly through the internet. One way to protect against it is to run a scan to find these and remove. One of the better solutions is Spybot - Search & Destroy [ http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html ] run that program and you may be suprised how much stuff is running on your computer you did not know about.

Sounds like you have spyware on your computer.  Get Microsoft antispyware.  It will help get rid of those pop ups that you get when you do your training.  See the link below to get the program.

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

First, yes it is BS and secod, if you are getting pop ups, this usually means that your PC is infected with adware and you should remove it.These scans will remove adware.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.

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.

May not be a virus but my money is on it being adware.....stop downloadin all that bogus crap! Try spybot search and destroy or some other adware removal software....

what browser are you using? is it the internet explorer?\nif it is, try clicking on tools>>internet options>>privacy>>look for block pop ups box. make sure that it is unchecked.

you seem to have an adware problem, adware can get around even the best pop-up killers, plus a personal firewall will slow that crap down...I don't have that problem on my machine. Get Ad-Aware, Spy Sweeper and Spybot on your machine, and run them until nothing comes up on the scans, Windows Defender is an up-and-coming tool that you can download free...Ad Aware and Spybot are also free. Get 'em, run 'em...and clean that puter out.

you said you get a message from a "website"....\ni'm assuming you are getting pop-up windows?\n\nthere are several free pop-up blockers on the web. i also think you should run a adware/spyware scanner remover.\n\ninstall a fire wall and worse case senario format your pc and reload the operating system.

This sounds like adware infecting your computer. Some good programs to run would be Spybot S&D, Adaware by Lavasoft, Yahoo toolbar with included antispy, & Microsoft Defender. If they can not remove all the problems their are a few specialized tools such as cwshredder and rougescanfix. AVG and Avast both have decent virus protection but I prefer Bitdefender for removing a Virus. Finally when you have got your system clean, uninstall microsoft defender and install spyware blaster to keep your system protected from future issues of this sort.

Do you have anti-spyware/anti-virus software installed? \n\nGet it if you don't have it, run a scan of all files on your computer. \n\nSometimes when I go to certain websites it causes me to get a lot of pop-ups, then I log off and do a scan. It takes off all the programs that make the pop-ups pop up.
