You need a pop-up blocker and a spam guard. AVG Free, ewido, spybot are all good spam guards. And for the pop-up blocker, you'll have to adjust your settings for internet explorer (or whatever program you use).

I would do a scan for adware and spyware, you might have a trojan on your computer; my mom kept getting pop-ups on her computer from the same ad and it was kind of annoying, but I downloaded a pop-up blocker.  Mozilla works too though, it blocks most of the pop-ups but it doesn't take off the spyware itself.

Download a highjacker removal tool from Symantec Security web-site. Or if you are using any antivirus program which is bundlled antispyware with it, update and scan your computer and network with it. You will get rid of it. Pop-ups are very annoying. Make them out soon.

that means your internet security isn't allowing active x to be installed or run. most likely they were changed to "custom" to reflect this, which happens alot especially if you have gotten pop-ups. i'm guessing this is a work computer?

Trayapp is the windows installer, likely if it is poping up a lot and you have installed something such as an HP printer. There are several threads available by doing a searh on keyword Trayapp in a your favorite search engine. I cant help more than that as I have never encountered that problem.\n  The pop-up blocker problem I may be able to give some insight. No matter how many pop-up blockers you are running (and running only 1 is recommended) if you get spyware or adware on your computer it will bypass most pop-up blockers as they tend to be aimed at the ones launched from www pages. You could have got adware/spyware on your computer from a number of sources, web pages sometimes push it onto you, many "Free" software downloads (Games, Screen Savers, Taskbar applications, Video Players etc) will place adware/spyware on your computer with only a minor mention of it in the licence agreement. To get rid of it you should run an antispyware program, there are many free ones, Microsoft has one Here :\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nthis is also a popular free one :\n\nhttp://www.lavasoft.com/\n\nthere are many others just pick one you like, to locate more type anti spyware in your favorite search engine.\n\n I Hope that is helpful:-)

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!

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.

popcap is usually reffering to certain games ... like bookworm, bejeweled, and a few others ... activex may be needed if ur playing one of those games or a similar one the web ... but i would say you probably dont need it ... and i would run an app called adaware ... its free ... dont just be deleting things you dont know wat they are ...

Your PC is infected with adware. That pop up wants you to buy something that is useless.You need to scan your PC with these to get rid of it \n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nI-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.

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

If you're having lots of popups, you probably have some sort of spyware installed.  Try installing the programs linked below and scanning your computer to see if they find anything.

Are you running XP service pack 2?  If not, get it. It has a decent pop-up blocker built in. Also get a good spyware killer.  Follow these links and follow their instructions-\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\n\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/\n\nMicrosoft also has a beta spyware killer which is available from their updata page.

Buy a pop-up blocker like Ad-Aware SE Plus\nor that isn't a good program and you should delete it.\nsomething like iTunes doesn't do that so the chances are that Shareza isn't a good program to be using

If you are getting popups while you are playing a game, not while you are actually surfing the web, you may have some spyware that is causing the popups.  While the Popup Blockers mention do a good job blocking web popups, it wont stop the ones that spyware will make.  Some spyware actually opens IE windows for their popups, so I ask this question; Are you surfing while you play Diablo?\n\nIf not, get a good spyware tool such as Ad-Aware from LavaSoft http://www.lavasoft.com/ and get Hi-Jack This to remove the spyware from your computer.

This is Completely Illegal!!!\nYou should buy the software right now.\nand if you are brave enough take a look at the following link!!!\nhttp://crackspider.net/search.shtml?q=speed+optimizer+2&x=32&y=22\n\nWarning!!! most of these sites host malicious software(virus /trojan/spyware,...) and may upload them to your computer. then just go there if you have an up to date anti virus and anti spyware.As another recomendation use firefox to go to these web sites.\nI don't take any responsibility about any damage may cause to your computer.\nGood luck!
