Annoying pop ups.
I let my brother use the computer. I think he was looking at sex things. Now when I am on my computer I am getting a lot of porno pop ups. I be busy trying to do something I can look later but I really don't care for the porno. Is there a way to stop it ? I stopped my brother from using the computer but the porno keeps coming?

Also, turn off the "messenger" service in Control Panel Administrative Tools Services.
Get pop-up stopper which you can download for free from www.cnet.com and do what Cricket suggested. |

Norton Firewall will stop one hundred percent of all pop up adds

To disabe messenger:
-- Click on the Start button in the taskbar -- Open Control Panels -- Go to "Administrative Tools" (XP users may need to go to "Performance and Maintenance" first, then "Administrative Tools") -- Double-click on "Services" -- Scroll down to "Messenger" -- Double-click on "Messenger" -- Change the Startup type to "Disabled" -- Click "Stop" to stop the service |

Google toolbar is also an excellent pop up blocker. I haven't gotten a single pop up since I installed it a few weeks ago. In fact so far it has blocked over 600 pop ups. It also has some other really nice features.

I personally use Pop-Up Stopper Free Edition. It works relatively fine. A couple of pop-ups would show once in a while.

I've never had Pop ups since I got Camino for the Mac. Like Mozilla so I would imagine the mozilla browsers would block pop ups just as well.
