    Pop ups

    I'm tired of all these damn popups and can't seem to find anything to stop them. I installed ad aware and it doesn't work for shit and keeps telling me to install updates and when I try to do that, all these damn popups come up and also ads for porno sites pop up behind the download sheet.

    Is there a good blocker that actually works out there? Thanks for any help.

    Several, but I really would do a thorough computer clean first, sounds to me as though you have a problem on your computer. The porn pop ups are a big giveaway....

    Agree, sounds like some sort of malware more than some sort of browser setting.

    Start with updating and running Malwarebytes, then Spybot Search and Destroy, give Superantispyware a run too.

    Save/export your bookmarks and passwords then delete your browser (Firefox or Chrome?), run your antivirus, download your browser again and import your bookmarks etc. and set up adblockplus.

    Without knowing you and your computer, change the startup by going to Start - type msconfig - click startup - uncheck everything but your antivirus (and anything else that you actually want to start on startup.

    Run CCleaner every few days.

    I installed the Adblocker plus and it's still not helping. What is this Related searches (Read English/ Teaching English as a second language) stuff that pops up every time I change a page on this site?

    I need to get some help on this shite.

    Related Searches This is the crap that pops up on every page here. Luigi, I tried page four and ran it and it found this shit and supposedly deleted it but this shit is still here. I've run Malwarebytes and my Ccleaner and still no luck.

    Looks like a browser hijacker.

    Take a look at this Norton tool.

    I'd delete my browsers (after saving the bookmarks and passwords), then run spybot S+D and ADW Cleaner. I'd go through all the program and download files and look for stuff that shouldn't be there. Then reinstall the browsers and see.

    How much do you want to bet? You're getting into the list of NO BRAIN HERE gang. I THOUGHT that you were a bit higher educated than that lot.

    So far I have seven on the list of NO BRAIN HERE because if i read a word they write, it would be nothing but total BS.

    To be fair, he's not the one with a basic browser hijacker issue.

    Some good little advice on this thread. I'd go through them all one by one.

    Try going to browser settings and "block popups". FF and Chrome can do.

    Don't know which time it got fixed but now the BS is gone at least here and thank you very much to most of you for your help.

    No thanks to the koojo for just a stupid comment when a member has a problem and asks for help.

    Actually there was a suggestion there if you cared to pay attention.
    If you're using IE, change.
