HELP HELP HELP!!! Something has gone wacky in my computer and it is sooo slow now because of all the pop ups (ADULT ONES AT THAT!!!:shock::evil I think I may have accidentally erased something that apparently I might need.........do yall know of something I could download~i would trust it if yall would reccomend one, a screen of some sort......I cant stand this as it is keeping me from getting my mail and from getting on some sites.....heeellllllpppppp!! (not to add that the kids are screaming, fighting , and that darn bridge is out AGAIN!! ahhhhhhhhhhh calgon take me awwwaaaaayyyyyy!!!!)
I don't know a pop-blocker right off but go to microsoft's website and download their Windows Defender and get whatever spyware off...maybe it's compromising your program. Defender is FREE.
You may want to run a spyware program to see if there is anything already on your computer from the yucky pop ups. Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/) and Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html) are both very good, and are free. Some people like running both, on the theory that if one of them missed something,the other might find it. It wouldn't hurt. After that, I use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/). It is also free. Most of the yucky viruses and other nasties floating around are aimed at Internet Explorer, since that is what most people use. Firefox is easy to use; is customizable, which is very nice (I have a kitty theme); and is really safe.
don't forget to clean out your "cookies" and temp files and stuff.......... Make sure your pop up blocker is on (go into your control panel to do stuff)
THANK YALL SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! Just so happened after I posted when I went on yahoo, it had spyware and pop up blocker to download from yahoo! Then I figured out how to clean out the cookies and temp files (I have NEVER done that!! yikes!) and now my computer seems to be scootin along real fine! Thanks again ladies you all are such lifesavers!
