Queen Prawn Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Nothing much lately. My msn blocker has blocked 44 and my yahoo has blocked 680. Every now and then I get the "guess the right answer and win" or the "you are the 13451616 guest - you win..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 I have a couple thousand blocked. I need to check settings and see if there is a way to add a specific ad to block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I never ever get popups - Thank you Mozilla Firefox, the best web browser with a built in popup killer. The only particularly annoying things on my computer are when I startup, there's a search bar in the task bar. None of my programs can seem to get rid of it. But all I need to do on startup is right click and disable it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I have the same problem with things appearing in the task bar that aren't in the add/ remove folder to where i can just uninstall it. there is no way of getting rid of them without reformatting.

Xero Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I have had my Yahoo! Toolbar for over 6 months now. It has blocked over 10,000 pop up ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Phoenix on line and one spamming ad-aware or spy-bot or something are always popping up and my google bar isn't killing them. What's annoying your screen? Yeah, I think someone else posted up a little ago. If you are getting popups through your blocker you most likely have some spyware you need to deal with.
