Those can also be stopped by a firewall, such as the XP firewall or ZoneAlarm. Are you running a firewall? You should be! See the article with that name linked below for more on that subject.
Another type is popups that occur through Web browsers. A very useful addition to Internet Explorer is the
Google Toolbar, which will effectively stop popups.
There's a third flavor, the "XP Messenger", described
here. I'd have to do more research on removal/control of that one!
I just put ZonAlarm on my computter and everything seems to be working good now even thought I was starting to think I was hacked or something. I still might be but it's working wonders (laughs) and seeing that I did have/had some stupid stuff on my computer that would not let me type something into my home page it seems to be working just wonderful now.
Next question how do I get free Virus Protection info to install for my computer? Or am I going to have ta pay for it.
