Well, I was going to say that I have it installed and a little white hand in the tray. There is a check mark next to the "block pop up ad windows and a check mark next to play a sound.

As I am typing this, up pops the %&##$&(%^& pop up. d:o(

Do I need to reboot?

No, you shouldn't have to reboot. Let me take a look at it real quick.

It is the exact same pop-up every time or from the same site?

If so, which site is it?

If pop-up stopper isn't working for it then it is installed on your computer as opposed to being sent to your computer from an external site which probably means that adware has been installed on your computer.

Pop-up Stopper is designed to stop pop-ups that originate on a site. Adware/spyware installs on your computer and tells your computer to go to a particular site.

If that is the case then you'll have to download and install programs that are designed to prevent spyware.

Click the link at the top of the thread to read about adware/spyware.

And it's time for me to go to sleep. We can see what your prob is tomorrow unless the pinger that I just heard is telling me that you have sent a new message.
