Popup Blocker

[CamiKaze]

Now I love to keep my computer EXTREMELY clean...but now I have to install a popup blocker because these popups are REALLY getting to me now.

When I click on some link on myBB then I get this Certified winner claim.
When I click on some other link, then some bastard tells me why he created a site to generate money for himself.

Is there anything that you guys are using that does the job?

Adblock Plus + FlashBlock extensions do the trick for me

Does chrome have a blocker that is native to the app? I've been looking for it in advanced settings.

Not sure I know what you mean. Those are extensions I use in Chrome.

You need to go to Tools->Extension from your menu or alternative paste this into your url field chrome://extensions/

Sounds like you've been clickjacked.

Scan for malware or even better reinstall your OS.

Your problem is the pop ups.

You need super anti spyware. Your PC is sick.

No MyBB links have pop ups.

Ok if i go through IE then I can do this instead of adding extensions:

hmmm, my MSE is up to date...yeah its not an internet anti-v thinga-ma-jig but...i would rather use one app (anit-v) to manage all of this. Was thinking of buying the anit spyware and internet version of MSE

It only happens sometimes, if I click on a link then it happens sometimes, but clicking on the link again does not pop up another window. (badly structured sentence that i don't really feel like fixing now)

Had an invection on a new Win 7 install a year ago that nothing detected so couldn't be removed. Reinstall.

That won't fix it.

MyBB doesn't have pop ups. You have a virus or something.

Get super anti spyware to start and see if that helps.

what Anti-V do you use?

what Anti-V do you use?

Just MSE for the obvious critters.

But generally I practise safe computing. I.e. don't be stupid.

If you want to be risque, use a VM with a snapshot and trash it after bad behaviour.

hmmm, very safe but takes up lots of space to have another windows image right?

Depends what you do. Maybe 10 GB.

I use it to test our software or run Linux.
