Pop-Ups

TonyP · 2006-03-01T17:50:51+00:00

I am running Panicware with Pop-Up Blocker enabled. I have just started receiving Pop-Ups after a very long time without them. I have switched between IE6 and Firefox to see if that made any difference and it hasn't. I have run Hitman Pro (which incorporates Spybot, Adaware etc) and it found a few pieces of spyware which were quarantine. Still the Pop-Ups appear. Help please !

Thanks. I will stick with Firefox then. Cannot run Panda Active-Scan on it though as it only works with IE.

You can always use IE for things like online scans that need ActiveX controls or whatnot.

Though Firefox is my main browser... there are some sites I visit that I need to use IE with.

I use IE to do Admin work here as Firefox and the board software dont play nice.

Anything else, Tony?
