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

Get yourself a decent antivirus and antipopup like Norton, Symantec. \nSince I have it, no more popups etc...

try spybot and adaware to fix problems. If they can not remove them try rougescanfix which is pretty good at removing this type of adware.

You need an anti-virus and an anti-spyware program.\nThe pop-ups are perhaps resulted some spyware activity. Visit the links below.

That annoying pop up is actually either spyware or adware - the only way to get rid of it is to download a spyware sweeper and then to do a scan to remove it.\n\nFor a quick fix you can try this: WIN XP\n\nClick start > run > type "msconfig" > click on furthest right startup > disable all > click ok or apply > restart your computer\n\nThis msconfig is totaly reversable and will stop the icons loading up when you start windows - it will not delete it\n\nhope this helps
