Well I am glad you have a pop up blocker but you need to know why its not working. There are two possibilities. The first is the pop up blocker doesn't recognize the pop ups as being pop ups. The second, is your system is infect by adware and it is displaying those pop ups. If the second scenario applies to you then you up against a couple of hours of work. Let's start with the good. Start your pop up blocker and see if your lets you add titles of pop ups you want blocked pay attention to the tile of the pop ups and add them to the list. If what I just said doesn't apply to you or you have a problem. Listen closely, first of all your pop up blocker is not protecting you enough and the second your system might be infected by adware. A firewall doesn't block pop us. Firewalls try to regulate downloads and the access of the internet. Go to windows.com and install windows live onecare. Then scan your system and elimate any malware that is found good luck please recommend me

AnswerYou are probably infected with spyware. Go here and download the free edition of Adaware SE.

http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.HTML?tag=srch&qt=adaware+se&tg=dl-20&search.x=10&search.y=8

Download, update, and run this program.

Depending on the site, they may be automatic, if you are not on a site then that is a different story,. I would suggest you visit windows upgrade, an download service pack 2, also on your web page go to tools popup blocker and make sure it is turned on I think it is,next at tools go back to popup blocker, check your blocker setting, at the bottom of the page it should be set to medium, try that if that does not work try high,also below that is frequentley asked question click on that for more help.

Don't blame pop-up blocker for not stopping pop-ups. If they are loaded from your computer, no pop-up blocker will deal with that. And pop-ups are launched from your computer if there are trojans or adware. Ad-Aware SE may help, but you don't have to buy this program.
