Why am I getting so many pop ups and ads? Even porn Ads.?
Why do you get so many popups? Because you go to websites you shouldn't be at and click on things you shouldn't click on. It's usually not your fault because they intentionally try to trick you into clicking on these things. Surfing is like most things, the more you do it, the better you'll get at it. You just need to learn what to click and what not to click. Unfortunately, now your computer is loaded with spy ware and ad ware. To fix your problems, go to www.shareware.com and download Spybot and AdAware. They're both free. Install and run both (not at the same time). That should fix everything but the most stubburn ad trojans. If you're still getting pop ups, download and install ewido anti-spyware at www.ewido.com. It will work for free the first 30 days, then you need to buy it if you want to continue to use it. By the way, if you are running Windows XP and Internet Exporer 6.0, you don't need SuperPopupBlocker. IE 6.0 has it's own popup blocker built in.

Why am I getting porn pop ups?
Use a pop up blocker to block it. http://popup-stoping.com/trojanhorsesrem... or you can block it manually under the steps. Step1 Press the Esc key one time. If this does not help, press Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys all at the same time. If a programs screen appears, select end task and left click your mouse one time. If another screen appears select end task and left click your mouse one more time. Hopefully your mission is accomplished with this five second procedure. Step2 If step one worked for you, you'll probably have to do it again each time you connect to the Internet, but only once per visit, until you go into your computer and delete this file that keeps popping up from your computer. Step3 If the above procedure is working for you, great. However, they may return again as invisible pop ups. When you're computer appears to be stalling for longer than normal, try the above procedure again, to see if the same program screen reappears. (Invisible pop ups are done away with in the same manner). Step4 If the procedure mentioned above did not help, disconnect from the Internet. Press Start, then control panel, then Internet preferences. Delete cookies and search history. Step5 If the above attempts were not enough, delete the user name and use another one. Step6 If the above attempts were not enough yet, your computer is infected spyware. Scan your Spyware/Adaware http://popup-stoping.com/trojanhorsesrem... Step 7 If IE pop up,you can manage your IE by using Cleaner tool. Remmend: http://popup-stoping.com/IEHospital/

Why do I keep getting pop-ups in Chrome and Firefox despite having Adblock Plus?
I'm going to have to break down the answer to this question into two pieces: first how pop-ups are likely occurring and second armed with that knowledge what you could do.First, browser's like Chrome attempt to naturally block pop-ups that aren't initiated by a user action. See [1] for an interesting analysis and solution to this problem if you are so inclined. So I think we can break down pop-ups into two cases.Case a) This is a popup that was clearly not intended by the website's owner. In this case I agree with Don Marti, you may have some malware. Google "malware scanner" for some options here.Case b) This popup was in fact intended by the website's owner. You see even if you don't think it's a good experience, website owners don't always make the best decisions here. Especially if you are on a website of quasi legal status, you wouldn't do that would you? Of course even mainstream websites make stupid calls when it comes to balancing user experience versus revenue. Either way Google or Firefox may well view this popup as 'legitimate'.Let's assume case b), now enter Adblock. Since you are a user you've probably long enjoyed a 'crap' free internet experience. So any deviation, even on grey websites, may feel very jarring. It's possible that this particular pop-up is being delivered by an advertiser who has paid Adblock off to be a member of the Acceptable Ads - Adblock Plus program. However, I don't think this is pretty likely. Those guys have a lot a to lose and have little incentive to anger users like yourself. So most likely this is an advertiser who is being both being enabled by the website and isn't in Adblock's filter list. (Adblock works by a applying a list of scripts and URLs that it's plugin looks for and blocks. If a bad actor isn't on the list they can get through.)If the above sounds like you, then what can you do about all of this? Well one option is to review what filters you've setup and if you think you are configured correctly then report a new advertisers to the filter owner. See this for more: Getting Started - Adblock PlusIf you are technically savvy you can inspect the page source of the site in question and see if a technique, similar to [1], is being employed and add your own manual filter to shut them down.If you think you fall outside of the above scenarios, I'd love to hear more about it![1]http://theandystratton.com/2012/...
My bf keeps getting porn pop ups. does this mean he has been loking at the sites?
Go to the wrong site, or view a site like this just once, and you can get "addware" attached to your system. It could be linked to one of his favorite sites. There are so many vairables. Now, is this something that bothers you? And why?
Why does The BBC website have too many advertising pop-ups?
Why does The BBC website have too many advertising pop-ups?The BBC is funded in the UK by a levy on every household, taxation, therefore does not need advertising to fund production and broadcasting costs, hence in the UK, the BBC TV broadcasting, & website is free of advertising.Unless your computer has malware presenting pop ups on whatever page you are viewing, then there are two solutions:a thorough scan with a creditable anti virus software (not the ones that do nothing and charge you, or actually install malware!),or to upgrade your operating system (pop ups are mainly a Windows computer problem) to one that the bad guys have less interest in such as installing Linux which can be installed alongside your existing operating system if your hard drive is not too full. By adding Linux to your computer you will have the choice of running Windows or Linux each time you start your computer, and typically Linux will run about 3 or 4 times faster than Windows. Alternatively, you could change your computer to an Apple Mac computer, although the bad guys are starting to take an interest in Macs, that is much much less than Windows. You will almost certainly find a far better computer experience (though it may take a while to become familiar with the new operating system) by moving away from Windows, IBM for example offer employees the choice of Windows or Apple Mac at computer renewal with 75% choosing a Mac at that time, they report that based on 90 000 Mac users out of 440 000 employees that each employee choosing a Mac saves the company up to $530 over the computer lifetime, I guess that were they to offer Linux, the saving would be a bit less, maybe half of the saving from going to a Mac (run Mac OS, 2 versions of Linux, & Windows computers here..)?If you are viewing the BBC website outside of the UK, then the BBC is a commercial publisher outside the UK, and I guess that there will therefore be some form of advertising, although I would guess that as the BBC aims to maintain very high standards in the UK, then that advertising would be as discrete as possible whist maintaining an income, however I have not used the BBC website outside the UK…. That to me would suggest that you have a problem with your computer…
