Can anyone recommend a good pop up blocker? I am now getting constant pops after getting infected by a virus on my PC. The PC is now virus free but I cant lose the popups ! everything I have tried hasnt worked.
Norton was useless, stopzilla didnt work. I have tried around 10 different blockers and malware programs but nothing stops the ads. Every scan I do shows the PC as being clean but they keep popping up.
Its driving me crazy!
any help appreciated.
cheers

The latest IE & Firefox have popup blockers built in to them. If you change the settings to block popups and it doesn't help you might need to run something like Ad-aware or similar to search for and remove any spyware.
Hope this helps.

I have loaded the latest IE but the blocker on that doesnt stop them and even ad-aware hasnt managed to stop them.

Have you changed the pop-up setting under Tools. Change it to High-Block all Pop-ups.
Otherwise boot up in safe mode and run virus protection and ad-aware. It may have hidden itself in an .exe file.
Hope this helps.

Use Spybot Search and Destroy.
Will remove all adware and spyware from your system and works a treat.
Also immunise your system to prevent further problems.
