August 11, 200322 yr Guys.. question.. All of a sudden I am getting these stupid popups again. The are grey boxes with ads in them. Not like those Orbitz ones. I got a Norton firewall a few months ago and they stopped.. now they are back. Like 50 of them and I have to close each and every one of them before I can do anything else. How can I stop them???

There shouldn't be any... It's not while I have this board up.. I am on from home all day. When I get home there are a ton of them. They aren't like normal ads. They are just a grey box. Very plain looking. I tried to copy one to post as an example but it wouldn't let me.
August 11, 200322 yr Sounds like you have a pop up program in your computer. I'm assuming like an adaware type program would remove them. Since you have that Norton thing I'd think that would do it.
August 11, 200322 yr Steff, look for EldoS Messenger Killer on download.com....I am assuming you are using Windows XP? It is a common problem with XP...had the same thing happening to me.

August 12, 200322 yr Steff, I have this great program that deletes pop up programs that somehow get onto your computer. It's called Spybot-Search and Destroy, I believe you can download it from download.com. yup here's the link http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10194058...tml?tag=lst-0-1

LDF said: norton will not do it, i think. go to the techtv or cnet and adware Norton should do it. I have Norton Personal firewall and it blocks them all unless i leave it off. Steff make sure norton is not disabled and that the ad blocking feature is turned on. Also when was the last time you updated it? Sometimes it just needs to be updated.
August 12, 200322 yr Author Fixed it.. AOL has a stopper, so I DL'd it.. and they stopped. Little s***s. They attack XP!
