IT would help if you told us what browser you’re using. Suggest you switch to FireFox and use the NoScript plugin.
Spybot Search and Destroy
Find an old copy of AtGuard, look for FOSI Atguard on google.
In the meantime, you might want to try a different browser. Many (most? all?) browsers have a "no popup" checkbox which should solve your problem.
We need more system info. Tell us what you are running, machine type etc.
Sounds more like you need some virus killing
Download.com has lots of free software.
What kind of toaster are you using?
yea it really does sound like you have malware infections. What is your antivirus? for spyware I like superantispyware.com.
If you use Messenger, pop-ups can circumvent it.
Firefox has several add-ons that might work, if you use that browser.
Years ago, I used a program called Pop-up Stopper. It worked pretty good at first. Then the advertisers found ways to get around it.
Some browsers have Flash stopper add-ons.
You might try a Google search, depending on your set-up.
Download malwarebytes from malwarebytes.org and scan/clean your computer. If you can’t get to the site (some malware will prevent it), download the malwarebytes install file to another computer, burn it on cd, and then move it over that way.
I’d bet a beer that you have over 100 infected files if your computer is grinding to almost a halt. Once malwarebytes does its thing, install a real time antivirus product. Microsoft Security Essentials is a good one and it’s free.
If you are still infected, you may have something called a “Rootkit” virus. I’ve found that downloading an app called “combofix” from a site called bleepingcomputer.com will help clear out some really nasty embedded malware.
Sometimes cleaning this stuff will mess with your internet browser settings, so you may need to reset those when the cleaning is done.
You may also only be able to run some or all of these anti-malware products in “safe mode”. You can try to run them in safe mode by rebooting your computer, press the F8 key a few times while the computer is booting up, then select “safe mode with networking”
If you just can’t punch through and get the problem solved, there is probably some dude like me nearby that would clean it for $50 and get it back to you within 24-48 hours.
Depending on how savvy you are with your computer you could consider www.privoxy.org. You install it as a separate application then point your browser (any browser) using its “proxy” setting to it at “localhost:8118”.
This sends the entire http traffic stream through it for filtering. It gets rid of a lot of junk and annoyances. I have used it for 7-8 years or thereabouts. Keep in mind nothing works 100%. Some sites use very annoying HTML techniques to popup windows.
If you use Firefox i use the plugin Foxyproxy with Privoxy which allows granular rules. In rare circumstances you have to exclude a site from its filtering.
It also sounds like you could have some malware possibly that has made its way onto your computer.
I use the free versions of Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org for periodic manual scanning paired with a realtime AV. I use Norton Internet Security paid version but, AVG free http://free.avg.com is good.
You can get all the free stuff installed from here easily http://ninite.com/
Firefox.
Or if you want to filter ads too, use IE7 Pro
