Got loads of pop-ups appearing when I use my pc and not to sure why, but I was hoping someone could direct me to a decent pop-up killer, i've been looking round, used google etc but nothing solid. would like a program that others have used :)

thank you.

Popup Ad Filter (PAF) is the first and unique anti-popup product that can block 100% annoying popup ads absolutely automatically while never interfere with user's navigation.

While PAF is running, it tells Internet Explorer to stop all unsolicited windows from being downloaded and appearing.

sounds like you've picked up some spyware
a pop up remover may stop the popups but wont actually fix the problem

best bet is to check what programs are being loaded on startup, i guess your using XP, as I've only had xp 3 days myself i cant tell u where to look for em.

but if your on 98 its: start/programs/accesories/system tools/system information/tool/system configuration utility/startup

and just uncheck the dodgy looking ones e.g. pr0n_popup.exe :)

If any of the popups are using the Messenger service, go to run, then msconfig, services tab and uncheck "Messenger".
