Command Prompt or you can just get a toolbar like GOOGLE which has a popup blocker.

CrazyAmericanScum Well if you are using Windows XP, which I am not assuming you do, there is a port that by default is activated called Universal Plug and Play.

My suggestion because nothing works is uninstall the UPnP feature and see if that helps.

http://www.grc.com/unpnp/unpnp.htm This is an easy way of disabling it. Basically just run this or you can go into add and remove programs and under windows components it can be uninstalled.

Emu Get rid of things like Kazaa if you have them and download Kazaa lite. That got rid of mine. Other than that, I don't know.

Under attack from pop-ups

I had my security and privacy settings on low for a while so that I could run certain websites, and I think some programs installed themselves onto my computer. I keep getting pop-ups at random times, irregardless of whether or not I'm running a web browser or any program for that matter. I've run AdAware and Disk Cleanup and all that jazz until my computer's anus bled, and I'm still attacked by pop-ups and requests to download programs. I've investigated my task manager and found many conspicuous operations running UNDER MY NAME. I even turned off the Windows Messenger option and restarted my computer. To no avail!

Help me!
