These popups want you to buy something or are screensavers wanting you to get them. Here is my log below.

Hi heat123

Do those popups appear on every website or do they appear randomly?

Then those might be random "normal" popups.

I suggest that you do this and report back:

  • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer

Have you tried using another browser?

Firefox has better pop up control than IE.

Also can you say on which websites those popups occur most often?

OK. I think it is faster and not getting the popups. Do I need to do anything else or are we done?
