F''ing pop-up''s

F''ing pop-up''s

I have suddenly become inundated with the things. Anyone any idea why or how I can find out how to get rid of them? I think I may have dowloaded something by accident - there was something called 'Gain' which I think i managed to shift of my system but it's since I got it that the trouble started.

I seem to get a great many from ASOS about bags...

Cheers in advance

depends on which browser you're using....if you are using/willing to use Mozilla, it has a pop-up killer built into the browser preferences.

If you're using IE, I highly recommend "pop-up killer"...seems to be working a treat for me.

If you're using Netscape...die scum die!!

Grovel, grovel, beg kneel sponge crawl. I appologise, both for insinuating a possible link between Uncle Taw and uselessness, and also for the use of Lyrics from Joseph

OK, well, I got it, but it claims to be a non valid archive and I can't unzip it... Any ideas?

must be the crayon wax...I'd get Uncle Grom to send it again. or I could do it but I just cannot be ars*d

btw yor GAIN stuff is that Gator advertising stuff cos youve been downloading adware (yawn) uuuunnnfortunatley a lot of the apps youre skanking wont run unless that Gator cr*p is running also. There's no such thing as free, you know (unless you're me)

It is possible that you have a trojan, but far more likely that you have spyware. Download something like "Spybot" or "Ad-Aware" from LavaSoft, and see if it finds anything. Otherwise, use Opera of Mozilla. They have in-built pop-up blockers and are far superior to IE. I know I keep saying this, but no-one (except Taw) listens to me! Mmm, maybe I need to be more agressive... Therefore, get Mozilla now, losers!

Edit: I was referring to your pop-up problem, not the zip archive. Try "pkzipfix", which may repair your archive. Otherwise, try downloading it again (obviously) .

Mozilla is teh rox, but it is slow to load

Post Thu Jan 15, 2004 11:10 pm

What 'choo talkin' 'bout, Griff? Mozilla is the fastest browser I've ever used! But then, I'm on a modem, so maybe it is not as good on broadband. I have not seen any indication of that however.
