Popups blocker

Easy Target · Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2004 5:22 pm Post subject: Popups blocker

Just wondering what do you use to block popups?
During game it's so annoying, I could had 10-20 more kill per map if it wasn't for that!

Ok, 1 maybe 2!

if its cuz ur surfing the net while ur playing, get firefox, its got a biult in popup blocker(havent had one yet) and less spyware comes through it.

if your not runnign anything else, then its spyware. get adaware SE or spybot.

adaware SE dl

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10319876.html?tag=lst-0-1

dl it , install it, update it, tweak some of the settings so it's better, then do a full system scan.

My combination of Kerio Personal Firewall, Firefox, SpywareBlaster, Adaware SE 1.05, and Spybot - Search and Destroy works very well for me.

I use to get random pop ups during play until my bro typed 'msconfig' in my 'Run...' and then disabled the spyware in the Startup tab. It's ptobably not gone but my pop ups stopped

DO NOT USE IE!!!!!!

Just use firefox on linux. No spyware, popups or viruses.

If you are getting popups while in game, you probably have adware on your computer which can be removed with Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc. Another thing that I know of that causes popups is Windows Messenger which can be disabled in your services. For popups from web pages I use the popup blocker built into the Firefox browser.

Just use Avant browser. Get it at majorgeeks. Blocker built in. Sounds like you have some spyware issues. Maybe a trojan got in your system. Other than that, use RaphX's advice. Run Anti-vir or AVG virus scanners along with that.
