Also you could try running a scan to see if you have any spyware etc loaded on your machine. I use this, its a free download and it's updated regularly.. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/.
Hope it helps. |
I think it was my browser. I picked up something yesterday when I was at a sight and it needed and active x control to view the webpage. I didn't want to dl it but I had so many pages to go thru and didn't think it would hurt with all the updates I have done (not to mention the brand new ones I installed yesterday from microsoft). Boy was I wrong. Instant popups thru the blocker. Crash. Nothing but aggravation since trying to get rid of it.
Never thought it could do something like highlight any word on a webpage as a link to advertise a corrupt websight.
I have used ad aware before on my old comp. and installed yesterday for this problem but it did not help. I did run it after this problem with the boyfriend link and it did seem to solve that problem but I was still getting the same popups so I then tried system restore to ealier date but it could'nt even do that (tried 2 diff dates) so I had to do a complete sys restore and then reinstall all the updates and patches this morning. Hopefully this took care of it.
Looks like it's working so far.
At least thankfully it seems that it's not a problem for anyone else.
Thanks for checking
Damn it. As soon as I submitted this reply that same damn popup came up again. ARRRGGGG.
