mine has somehow vanished, i'm using mozilla atm and the damn popups are really starting to pee me off, i'm in a bad mood as it is.....the pc will end up out the window if i see another popup


so please, for the sake of my pc's life.......could someone please tell me how to put the damn popup blocker on?
 
mozilla pop up blocker is on the top of your browser in ... Tools-Options-Content..check block pop up windows, but mozilla seems to be mashed up with pop-up's these days.
 
My pop up issue is under control at the moment, but it is a problem sometimes. Depends on what page I am browsing it the time though.

did you click on the exceptions button next to the "block popup windows" tick box and remove any exceptions that might be listed?
 
I use Vista with Mcafee never seen a pop up since I got this lap top 3 years ago
 
Are you getting pop ups that open in a new window or are the the ones that appear over the page you are reading and you have to close them to carry on reading the page?
 
the popups are a whole new page and the page always says 'loading error' and comes up about 7/8 times one after the other, say i open accyweb, my accyweb page comes up then all these other pages come up, i've recently put AVG on, could that be anything to do with it?

Not sure if it does popups actually. I have never noticed any since using it i am guessing firefox's popup blocker was always switched on for me. But ABP is good for getting rid of those annoying adverts on websites.....

On firefox.

Goto tools
Click add ons
Click get addons then browse addons
It will bring a webpage up.
Search for Add Block Plus
Should be first in list or so. A red stop sign sorta thing with ABP in it.
Click add to firefox
then install.
Firefox will ask to restart when it does there will be a list of filters. Check USA and ok... and then no more adverts :D


If you get some on a site that it hasnt picked up you can right click them and adblock it :enough:
