omg those pop ups
Everytime when i resume the pc from sleeping mode, there must be at least 5 pop up banners. I even had Zone Alarm on to stop it but it didnt. Is there anyway to stop these pop ups?

What kind of popups? Also, have you tried running adware ( www.lavasoftusa.com ) or spybot?

He might not know how to do that, you should explain
 Depending on your OS, it could be different. On WinXP: Start > Run > Services.MSC > Scroll to "Messenger" > Right Click "Properties" > Press The "Stop" Button > Change "StartupType" to "Disabled" Should be fine now

It's more likely to be spyware from my experience. Get Adaware 6 and install run on all drives. Delete everythiing it finds.
After that you can consider browser choices like Mozilla . I have the 1.4 version. It's free by the way. After installing it will explain how to block popups.  It's worth a try.hot in Phx - Pat |

You should also install and run SpyBot Search and Destroy. It catches everything and more than what Adware catches. You can find it here:

Run both, they both 'pick up' after each other
Pop up stopper free also stops all pop up banners if those are the pop ups you are having...
