marmite Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Ive tried a search honest! Suddenly ive started getting pop ups which has never happened before, it usually blocks them all and i use ctrl to override etc. Ive tried doing the internet explorer pop up blocker, and im on McAfee and looked through it but can find anything. Is there a quick fix? Thankyou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann* Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 how? isnt that risky? What's risky about that? You'll find system restore in Start, All Programs, System tools, then just follow the instructions. Do you have antispyware installed. If you've suddenly started getting pop-ups on a website where you never had pop-ups before, such as SF, then it's possible that you've picked up some spyware/adware somewhere (usually in something you've downloaded/installed). Go to the link in my siggie, and install one or more of the free security software there, and run scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
never wrong Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I f it does not work you have the option the to go back it probably only takes ten minutes all in and if it cures the problem you have nothing to lose. Using system restore is not risky at all follow the instructions you have been given above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using system restore is not risky at all follow the instructions you have been given above Not risky, it will either restore or it wont - But it's days should have been confined to Windows Me - Thank God it wasn't shipped in W2K.
