Don't know much about computers and was just wondering if there was a program i can download to stop advert pop ups? I seem to spend forever doing 'right click,close'.

Anyone help?

Thanks

Some commercial firewalls stop them too. I've not been bothered by them since installing Norton on mine.

also do a search for pop-up-stopper - mind you some stoppers muck up some websites also..

Don't forget to disable messenger service if you get messages via that also.
