We need someone who is pretty knowledgeable about ''cleaning up''
and removing those annoying pop ups that slow down the computer and
annoy the heck out of us when we are trying to work on-line.
Please contact us to discuss availability/rates etc at 415 507 1830.
We are in San Rafael.
Thank You
One easy and free way to block pop-ups is to install the Google
Toolbar, which has a built-in pop-up blocker
(http://toolbar.google.com). I've had it for a few years now
and it's great. I'm sure there are other free or low-cost
blocker tools out there as well.
Pop-Up Free
April 2003
We just got a new computer and are getting these pop-up adds
that look like computer warnings (plain gray text adds). They
are SO annoying, are sometimes stacked ten on top of eachother
and pop-up over everything (like when I am working on a word
document or watching a DVD). Does anyone know how to get rid
of these things?!
Much thanks,
Courtney
The easiest way to get rid of pop-up ads is to use something
besides Microsoft Internet Explorer. Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org)
and Opera (http://www.opera.com) are both free to
download and use and both include settings to suppress those
annoying pop-up ads. Note that Opera's free version contains
ads.
If you must use Internet Explorer, then see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/howto/restrictedsites/stoppopups.asp for
some instructions on how to restrict pop-ups. It seems like
quite a bit of work. Or try programs like the free Pop-Up
Stopper (http://www.panicware.com/product_dpps.html) or similar
software products.

I recently stated using the software from adsubtract.com to
block pop up ads. It works very well against those dang ads and
also deletes unwanted cookies, which can link you to
advertisers. A free 30 day trial is available from the
adsubtract website. About ten days into my free trial, the
adsubtract software offered a $15 buy now deal, which I took, as
opposed to the $30 website price. Good luck.
