How does one get rid of pop ups. I get a lot of dating
service, sex, reducing and loan pop ups. It is most
annoying when I am in the middle of a letter or game and
one of these windows over rides whatever is on the
screen.It is also embarrassing to return to my computer
several hours later and find a sex ad in the middle of my
screen. I've been able to use the "My
Computer...Add/Remove programs" on a couple. But, most of
these new pop ups don't appear on the add/delete program
screen (at least not in any form I can recognize) so I
can't remove them. Where can they be found, haw are they
recognizable from regular program items (ie. do they have
a peculiar file extension etc.) and how do I get rid of
them. If there is no easy way, is there a program that
will do the trick.
