|   I need some computer help.... ref. pop ups | Gall
Feb 2, 2004 8:09 AM | | Hello,
Not only do I know nothing about cycling I also dont know much about computers.
Anyhows I am getting pop ups with every site I goto. This is something new for this machine.
Is there something I can do to eliminate the pop ups? Please make it easy on me LOL

Download this little gem of a browser ( http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/releases/0.7/MozillaFirebird-0.7-win32.zip ) and you can block all pop-ups by going to the Tools menu, select Options and then go to Web Features and check Block Popup Windows. |

Feb 2, 2004 5:03 PM | | Do you see them for every site? They aren't that ubiquitous, so you may have had some obnoxious software slyly stashed on your computer.
I have had good luck ferreting this crap out with http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ |
