Popup Stopping

There are no settings for this to be changed to stop pop-ups,it generally takes a third party softfware suchas ad-ware or pop up stopper utility,chack the Lava Soft web site or such the internet for pop-up stopper from C-Net or Tucows

If your isp doesn't have a popup blocker you will need to install a 3rd party app or an ie add-in. I have used Google's toolbar add-in for quite some time and it has a built-in popup blocker that works quite well. You can get it at www.google.com.

Don't use a popup blocker, they just treat the symptom. Download and install Spy-Bot Search and Destroy. Be sure to update it before running it.

The scary thing is, most pop-up blockers are suspect to say the least, they work well if you are visiting just a few websites with pop-ups, but sometimes otherwise benign software installs local pop-up programs, these programs are difficult to remove, and may involve some aspects of registry key deletion.

My advice is to be careful about which software package to use, sometimes you trade annoying pop-ups with questions about viewing the pop-up or not.

Go in to services and check messenger service. If it is enabled turn it off and dissable it.

A lot of the popups come in through there.

Other than that the os does nothing to stop popups. That takes 3 party intervention.

The only real way to stop pop-ups currently, until Service Pack 2 comes out for Windows XP, is to disable your java. Pop-ups are run though java. To be honest with you there is no 100% way of doing it. Even with 3rd party software.
