Guest Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Only a few weeks ago I saw some advice on the boardroom about how to stop those annoying pop up messages appearing all the time. At the time I wasn't that intereseted since I hadn't seen that many pop ups. However, everything has changed recently. Pop ups seem to appear on my monitor every few minutes. So I have desperately tried tofind the advice from a few weeks ago about disabling them, but I can't find anything. Can anyone offer ay advice, or point me towards the original message string?

Blatman Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I think the search function is broke......... I just tried a search for "pop up", and it came up with nowt. It should have found your posting at least, so I guess there's a glitch in the matrix somewhere......... In the words of Rocky.......... Adrian...............ADRIAN...........

Stuart Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 There's a bit of freeware called FreeSurf that seems to stop most of them. Click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minghis Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 What you need is something called Pop Up Stopper - download it for free on downloads.com. it's listed under 'most popular downloads'. HTH, Minghis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2BBoulton Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Check that you don't have gator installed as that creates merry hell! It normally gets downloaded on the back of music search programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
