To eliminate or reduce pop ups of various types you need to install a
firewall ,
either a personal one or a internet device at your cable/dsl modem - even
the cheap
ones at Best Buy from Linksys, D-Link, Microsoft, or Netgear will help
immensely and
come preconfigured to block all inbound access. Otherwise you can download
free ones
off of the internet - Zone Alarm is good for a novice user to set up, while
Sygate or
Kerio are more powerful but require more knowledge of tcp/ip to set up
properly.
Run a program that will detect and remove most adware/spyware/malware such
as Spybot
Search and Destroy or Ad Aware. Then install a pop up stopper program. The
new Google
tool bar is excellent at stopping pop ups and free. --- Steve
