If you like using Internet Explorer, get the Yahoo! or Google toolbar, both have pop-up stoppers.\n\nI personally like Mozilla Firefox with the adblocker  plugin. With it you get next to no ads, not even the normal banner ads.\n\nAlso get Spybot Search and Destroy, and Adaware. These two programs are great for searching your computer and removing existing spyware, helping lower your pop-ups.\n\nLinks are in the Sources section.

First - Pop ups aren't phishing.\n\nSecond - If you are running Win XP, you should download Service Pack 2.  It has a pop up blocker.\n\nThird - If you are running SP2, download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.com (free)\n\nFourth - If you aren't using a firewall, download Zone Alarm from www.zonelabs.com  (free also)

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.

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.

I tried Symantec, McAfee, and Kaspersky.  This doesn't show up anywhere.  I would guess it's something that's part of a valid application.

there are many free softwares on the net to help u block pop ups... but all of them have trojans... so the safest an best one is the google toolbar... download it... it really works....

Sometimes a different virus scanner will pick out the virus. AdAware and Spybot are two good ones to try. Just be sure to turn off (disable) McAfee while scanning.

You have spyware/adware installed on your computer..\nDownload a freeware antispyware prog like spybot search & destroy (which you can find at www.download.com) and scan your computer to remove the spyware and adware=]\n\nand i suggest you download a popup blocker too..

Try deleting cookies and emptying the cache on your browser. Download this pop-up blocker for PC and install http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/43341. See if it helps. Pop-ups is a PC thing so try to minimize it with the blocker and cleaning your cache and cookies from time to time.

Ditch McAfee - Download AVG Antivirus!! Its free, but much better than McAfee.\nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html

Install an anti-spyware which also has a pop-up blocker.\nI strongly recommend Webroot SpySweeper, http://www.webroot.com/\nIt's cool, not heavy on the system resources, does the job extremely well, very customizable and the best !

Go to www.trendmicro.com and get a FREE virus scan and free removal, or search another site (www.mcafee.com , www.symantec.com etc....)for a free removal tool or a free trial for an Anti-Virus protection. \n\n(if you know someone who has McAfee, have them make a rescue disk for you and then use it to scan your machine)

McAfee has a utility on their website called "stinger".  Free and very effective.  All the other solutions that you were given are also good.
