Use a program such as Adblocker... It won't remove EVERY advert, but it will 'kill' most screen ads.

The reason why some people are getting pop-ups of advertisements for insurance and prizes even though a pop-up blocker is installed is that the settings on the blocker may need to be setup correctly. Try going to the options tab in the software and check to make sure that block all ads is checked off.

PC Cillin is a good antivirus software but it still has to be updated a bit to catch up with other antivirus softwares. It is missing a few features that can be found in more recent antivirus software packages.

yes obviously you can install anti virus without Internet connection with the help of previously downloaded software either from pen drive, CD, DVD or from any drive of your computer which contains the required software.

But to make it updated with latest definitions (that is able to detect and cure the spam attacks, various virus attacks from the Internet) you must have Internet connection to update your anti virus so that it can effectively detect any possible threat which can be harmful to your computer/laptop.

thanks in advance !!! cheers

Most browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have automatic popup blocking. Some antivirus programs like Norton have additional popup blocking features.

I tried an Alt-click, saw the blank pop-up, opened Adblock Plus Prefs, clicked the drop-down arrow for each filter subscription, scrolled to the bottom and un-enabled all related to answers.com and it's fixed.

Pros: * Folks might notice your ad when they're focused on something else.

Cons:

* Folks will notice that your ad is annoying and they will deliberately avoid doing business with you and they will block future content from appearing. * They are bad for accessibility because it is often difficult for visually impaired people to notice a new window has become available and many screen readers do not know how to appropriately deal with them and thus is confusing. * Pop-up blockers are implemented into all of the mainstream browsers (either built in or as a plug in), so many users will never see your pop-up windows, even if the interaction was requested by the user, unless that user (knows how to) disable the pop-up blocker. This results in many complaints that the website simply does not work for them as they are unable to view requested (and unrequested) information. Since blockers are so widely deployed, many users don't even know what pop ups are and how to enable them.

* On top of all that, many pop ups have a timer on them and this leads to even more frustration for the user who cannot read them fast enough (what was that?).

Once, long ago, there were only banner ads. And it was good. Much like reading the newspaper, the ads were static. With newspapers there's only so much you could do with the ads, so the ad makers soon realized that many more options were available for the internet. Pop-ups. Pop-unders. Blinking and rotating. A way to make sure you notice them. Most modern browsers(Firefox and IE) enable pop-up blocking from the start.

Although there is some debate about who can be credited with the first anti-virus software, the most popular opinion is that a man named Bernt Fix developed the first anti-virus package back in 1987 to stop the Vienna virus. Just three years later, 19 different products were developed for similar purposes, including well known McAfee and Norton AntiVirus.

You must own the domain name associated with the website. If you own the domain, contact the domain registration service you used to register the domain.

If you do not own the domain, the most you can do is block the domain name from your computer. If you are not comfortable editing your hosts file, you will need a third party program to perform the filtering.

That has to be done in your browser options. With IE it's in the Internet Options under "Privacy". With Firefox it's in the tool menu, options, content.

Just un-check the block pop-ups box.

You need to run the network setup wizard. That might fix it or it may have something to do with the program you are using to send email.

yes and actually the 'so called' "Anti-virus 2008" software is a virus desguised as an anti-virus software opens a backdoor that downloads other virus onto the system. The best thing (the only thing actually) you can do is then download the trial or buy the Norton 2008 package off their website which will fully take ALL virues out gaureenteed by me (jk). So yea..

Also, there's a virus called "ALPHA ANTIVIRUS"and my computer got it off of facebook and I had to look it up to delete it.

And again there is another virus called Antivirus7, it tellls you too give it information and to buy it but really its someone trying to take all your info. If you seem too have it on your computer i advise you too take it off. Another thing to look out for is things that are unusual.. NORTON DOES GIVE VIRUSES. Norton does not help at all and you have to pay for it which is the WORST PART OF ALL. please be carful .

I recommend FIREWALL, and more

it keeps the advertisements that automatically open such as the cursor ads from coming up. these adds are called 'pop ups' because they open automatically without any prompt from you.

A security program that helps you to block pop-up ads from getting to you on the Internet A Google pop-up blocker can be great and a excellent choice to get it but using mcafee or any other. They just want to protect your security from dozens of pop-up ads so the pop-ups won't get a virus on your computer or it makes a traffic jam on the Internet There are many more pop-ups. You should get one now.
