gggrrr!!! HELP! stupid pop-up window!!!

What browser are you using?
In Firefox (and I assume IE) you can have a list of allowed sites - is it possible the page you're on has made it's way onto that list?

Have you got a adware/spyware program installed?
If you don't I suggest you download ad aware or spybot as it sounds like you could have spyware on your comp.

ad aware download

download spybot

Maybe try installing spybot too. They work well together, ie one will pick up something the other won't

Make sure you update the programs before running

don't worry about that message, it only comes up once.
I use both and it is fine. I used to work as a computer technician and would always install both on clients pcs

No it will clean it out for free

Also, do you have an up to date antivirus?

Edited by Kellie

In that case it may also pay to get a new one. Avast is totally free and is really great. I use it and have never had any problems
download avast

no problem

I personally think Avast is a lot better. It rates pretty high up there for a free one.

Some people can use AVG with no problems. But I used to work at various ISP helpdesks and the amount of calls we got where it turned out AVG was the culprit was quite high.
If a customer was using it and having problems browsing or receiving email the first thing we would usually do is tell them to disable or uninstall it.

Wow i had been getting pissed with AVG for awhile now, but couldnt be bothered buying anything. Just d/l'd avast and it looks great. Thanks for the tip!!
