You might try Google's Toolbar. They will monitor your traffic, but they block up all my popups.

Listen, do this and it will most likely fix your problem.
Download Spybot here at
http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10194058...tml?tag=lst-0-1

What this proram does is find any registry entries that could cause problems and gets rid of them.

But the first thing that you need to do when you install this program is to update it from the menu. That way you have the most up to date version.
Then run this and fix all of the problems that it finds.

Then after that, download this.....

and post the log on here. I will try to see what is going on for you.


Pop-up Blockers are ok but do not delete registry entries that could be causing all of them in the first place.

Let me know if you need any help..

A lot of your popups are produced by spyware on your computer
