Not sure this is the right forum for this.

I have been plagued with pop ups for the last few weeks, every time I open IE I get all sort of things popping up and stopping the site I want from loading.

I am not sure if this is just a new trend or if I am having a problem with my software.

Does anyone know of a good anti popup software that is NOT using them to spam me.... ( about half of these bl*** things are from companies saying I wouldn't get this problem if I brought their software. This may well be true but I'm damned If I will buy from a company that is spamming me like this.

You can use ZoneAlarm, it does wonderful job of blocking Popups and other ads (options)

Guys I'm still having a problem and I just can't fix it. Every single time I open IE, I get pop-ups, usually 2 at a time! It's very annoying and I just want to get rid of it. PLEASE help me.

THANKS marketing_guy and anyone else who might have mentioned it along the way.

Those messenger popups get really annoying after a while. Ive noticed recently (few months) that there has been a huge increase in marketing through the messenger service, even companies adverstising to get rid of the messenger popups.

The problem is that its SO easy to do. Within 2 mins of searching i had downloaded a program that could do the same thing (for use on my network).

I think the reason why this is such a popular discussion is because everyone gets so peed off by popups etc.

Good Look wit the popup killin everyone!
