It sounds like you have adware/spyware on your computer.  A good thing to download (if you can get through all the crap to it) is Spybot Search and Destroy.

Do a search for "Mozilla" and download Firefox as your browser. Don't uese InternetExporer! IE has to many holes for pop-ups and those pop-ups can ruin your computer.\nUsing Firefox/Mozilla has stopped my computer from getting pop-ups and getting high-jacked.\nGood Luck!

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..

You can use "Google Toolbar"... here is the link: http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/index.html it has a built in pop up blocker that is great. and it automatically updates itself. its great.

You probably have a virus or even worse, a browser hijack. Run anti-virus software immediately and anti-spy software. \n\nA browser hijack is one of the worst you could get, and it happens often with internet explorer (one of the reasons you should be using Firefox).

I switched to Firefox and never looked back.  IE is too pop-up and spybot friendly.

Hi,\n\nI think you mean turn off pop up blocker.\n\nin Internet Explorer:\n1. Run Internet Explorer\n2. Tools -> Pop Up Blocker -> Turn off Pop Up blocker\n\nfor Yahoo Toolbar Pop Up Blocker\n1. Run Internet Explorer\n2. View -> ToolBars -> Uncheck Yahoo Toolbar\n\nFor Google Toolbar Pop Up Blocker\n1. Run Internet Explorer\n2. View -> Toolbars -> Uncheck Google Toolbar\n\nthen your popup blocker will be turn off temporarily until you enable them back :).\n\nDboy\nMy Blog: http://dragonboy2006.blogspot.com

Choose the Tools menu on Internet Explorer and Turn off pop up blocker. I think this will turn off pop up blocker set up by different applications like Google, Yahoo etc.

when you open your internet page - on the menu bar (where all the 'file' and 'edit' buttons are) there should be one marked 'tools' - click on it and scroll down to internet options. Then select 'privacy' from the tabs on the top of the window thats just opened... uncheck the 'block pop ups' box and it should appear... you can switch it back on by checking the box again, when you're done

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

Are you using Internet Explorer? (That's what I use so that's the best way I know to explain it.) If so, go under the "Tools" menu and select "Pop-Up Blocker", then pick "Turn Off Pop-Up Blocker". Just remember that you may want to turn it back on later to block unwanted pop-ups!

if you are using windows XP, then go to TOOLS>>POPUP BLOCKER>>TURN OFF POPUP BLOCKER. But if you're using a software like yahoo! toolbar, or google tool bar or which ever toolbar, then you can click on the popup blocker icon and switch it off, otherwise you can go to control panel and uninstall the software or whichever toolbar you have, you can also try clicking VIEW>>TOOLBAR>>AND UNCHECK THE TOOLBAR That you think contains the popup blocker. GOOD LUCK

Update your anti-virus software and do a full system scan. If you want to get rid of popups altogether, try downloading Mozilla Firefox. It's also a more secure browser than Internet Explorer.

I use the Firefox browser instead of IE and it seems to help quite a bit as the browser has an automatic pop-up blocker built in. (Tools --> Options --> Content)\n\nAlso, you can go to Start --> Run --> type in "msconfig" --> click OK --> click Startup tab --> delete some of the things you don't want to pop up every time you start your computer. This has helped my computer speed up quite a bit.
