Pop Ups

[Darol Wester]

Lately I have been getting more and more pop-ups on Win 7/Firefox. I checked my settings and the box IS checked to block pop-ups. What's the story with that?

Download Ad block Plus.

That will stop them.

I did that on my laptop. This site sure doesn't like it.

[Nick]

[Darol Wester]

[Nick]

My pleasure.

The Bitdefender comes up on the lower right of the screen and won't go away sometimes blocking the screen. I see no options to stop it. Ideas????

 

[Nick]

Left click on any part of the screen. Never heard of that before .

 

[Darol Wester]

I tried that but it didn't work. I decided to just live with it and it eventually went away. Go figure??

Clear your cookies and cache. We don't have popups for this site, so they may have followed you from another area.
If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in knowing as they are not supposed to be on the forum.

The pop up issue was resolved. Then it was about Bitdefenders notification box in the lower right screen that was coming up and not going away. Avast would just appear to let you know something and disappear. It's behaving now, knock on wood.

What's the difference between that and CC cleaner?

Yep, another person who would like to know this! {me}

Programs like CCleaner can be very dangerous to your computer. ... What you are doing is creating mini gaps in the registry's file. ... The only difference you'll notice is when actually searching your registry. ... excellent free alternatives that are much safer for your machine, such as ATF Cleaner or even TFC.

Or for a deep cleaner i use JRT, Especially when I'm cleaning infections.

Does it work as quick as CCleaner?

Are you recommending that we delete CCleaner and download this new thing?

 

[Nick]

ATF Cleaner is fast .

I use to use cc cleaner . I don't anymore .

Main thing you want to do is backup often.

Disk Image like Acronis true image .
