CobraKevin Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I have Free Surfer on strict mode and I'm still getting pop-ups. I mean, it's worked great in the past, but there has been a surge lately. Last night I left my cpu on for a few hours while playing PS2 and it kept accumulating pop-ups. Before I went to sleep around 4, there were like 40-somethin pop-ups. And just now surfing the site, I'm getting a decent amount. Could spyware be causing that? And even so, why can't Free Surfer stop it anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraKevin Posted January 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 I use Ad-aware to get rid of spyware and such. I just uninstalled and reinstalled Free Surfer and went to www.popuptest.com and still get the pop-ups in their test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperado Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I would sugest cleaning the machine off with Adaware, then loading Popup Stopper. Free Surfer and Adaware will not stop popups, they clean up what's already on the PC. Well at least that is how Adaware is. Try that and see what happens. And remember that popup stopper is only good for 30 days as a trial unless you get a licensed version, and that will cause it to quit working.

TurboTank Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 dont use internet exploder...i never get pop ups on my machine..i dont like netscape but it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 I NEVER get pop ups. Maybe it's because I run Kazaa LITE on the rare occasion that i feel like downloading music, and I use Mozilla instead of IE. I've never had to run any kind of pop up or spyware killer, either.
