    Annoying Pop up Ads --- please help

    Hello everyone,

    Do you guys ever get annoying pop up ads when you surf the web?
    How do you get rid of it? I mean really get rid of it....Im not talking about installing Pop-up Blockers. Im talking about restoring your browser to its original 'Pop-Up Ad Free' state.

    I know I accidentally installed something and now everytime I open my browser....pop up ads come up.
    I know gator was one of these sneaky apps that magically appears in your windows registry. Well..I removed it from my Win2000 pro computer...and rebooted...but the pop ups continue.

    How do I completely rid of these pop up ads???

    Its really annoying. I dont know why companies advertise this way...because it makes me hate them.

    I know you guys probably surf the web alot, so you might of had this problem b4 and probably have a better resolution that that Pop-up Blocker App.

    I would very much appreciate it if you share the 411.
    Thanks

    1st bite's is good, mine is better.

    Check this thread out - some could be coming through your Messenger app (not the chat app) and if you shut it off, they'll stop.

    Here's the link.
