Ideas for eliminating pop up windows.
Spy-Ware Removers
If you’re getting pop up windows where there shouldn’t be any, try these spy-ware removers. I use both of them on my computer:
Ad-Aware

SpyBot Search and Destroy

Get a Good Browser: Firefox
If you’re still using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape, you should be aware that a lot of people are switching to Mozilla’s Firefox because it is considered more secure. It’s free, but worth much more than what they’re charging.

If you want a good pop up blocker for Internet Explorer or Firefox, try the Google Tool Bar:

I usually do not have problems with pop-up windows, but lately I’ve been frequently getting an annoying pop-up window from Microsoft. It has something to do with the company’s dial-up connection in which I have no interest. How can I eliminate this annoyance once and for all?
