Hi everyone, i am being plaqued suddenly by these pop up things, that leap across the screen and move with the cursor, making it totally impossible to look at anything! I had a blocker, but have just taken it off, it blocked everything, even if i changed the settings grrrrrrrrr. Does anyone have a decent popper they could link me to?
I even had porn today!!! Im the only one with access to this lappy,and i dont use sites like that!! So i dont know how that got on there!
Please help

It sounds like you have spyware. Youll need to good cleaner and then a good popup blocker. I dont know what Rob uses on the computer or I would tell you. Good luck. Those things are so irrating!
