Re: Help-Pop-Ups are driving me mad!!!!
You can set Google to filter your results so that you don't get pointed at dubious places. Though this doesn't work 100%
If you are getting lots of popups then your computer may well be infested with Spyware which can cause the problem Shifting to Firefox will help, but it won't fix it if this is your problem. Have a read of the Spyware (sticky) thread for more info. But downloading and adaware and spybot - search and destroy will help if Spyware is causing the problem.
Reflecting on this makes me realise how much more complex computer problems are these days. At one time, if you had a problem you knew what caused it. These days, the problems are just symptoms of something much deeper. Oh, take me back to my twin floppy DOS3.1 laptop. I understood what was happening when I used that!
