Pop Up(s)

[PanterroR]

This is really annoying; i'm using Firefox and in last 10 days every time i start Firefox and GCF homepage, i get this pop up, but it's from internet explorer...

Look at this:



My pop up blocker is always turned on and i have no damn clue how is this possible...

Any help would be appreciated, 'casue i'm really close to remove that pop up with my leg!!!

Do you have adblock plus installed with your firefox. I do and I never have any pop ups including the one you're getting.

Adblock plus
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/

Adblock Filterset.G Updater (Adblock automatic updater).
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/

It's strange that the Pop Up is not a Firefox window, but is an Internet Explorer one. You might have some spyware...

Downloaded and installed and it poped up again after restarting Firefox...

Yeah, that's what bugs me most...

At the moment I use Kaspersky. In my opinion it is one of the best programs. Never had any problems with it!

I am 99.99% sure he has.

And that sucks Tycoon. Good luck dealing with it man, I wouldn't know what to do (I just buy expensive security to prevent it)
Norton Internet Security is the way to go. I never have a problem with spyware (crosses fingers)

Spybot:

... combine that with your internet security software like Norton/McAfee/Kaspersky/et.

Thanks, ree. I'll check that one.

klier, i won't say that Norton is bad, but that program i'll never have again on my PC. Bad expirience with it.

 

[klier]

Try Spybot then, as Siko suggested. That's a good one!!!

Go ahead, you can say it... Norton has become extremely heavy and less efficient over the years. I used to swear by it, but since version 2006, I won't touch it.

Klier, I strongly recommend changing when your subscription expires. If you don’t believe me, go read reviews across the Web.

 

[PanterroR]

Norton is automatically doing on your computer what he wants when the problem occures, it won't let you do what you want but what the program wants. That sucks, ****** up my PC several times and i've paid 99$ for the program some years ago.

No, thanks!

You might want to install at least SpyBot and Ad-Aware, they're both available for free.

 

[PanterroR]

I've had 'em both some time ago, but uninstalled 'cause i didn't have any problems untill 10 days ago...

Thanks, Mike, siko, ree, klier and Co.!

For spyware I have zonealarm pro. It works well for spyware.

Spybot worked well, no pop up anymore.

Thanks you all, guys... Appreciated!

Tips! the best antivirus programme is NOD32

 

[PanterroR]

With that i can agree, i have it on my PC.

I agree.

My brother has Norton Internet Security in his PC and i can tell you for sure that it sucks. It takes too much memory and slows down the computer.
