Pop-Ups by the Billions! Friday, March 12, 2004 at 7:11 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by BobC. (203 messages posted) I have picked up something and now my computer sends numerous (and I mean numerous!)pop-up ads. Of course, the primary ad offers to sell a pop-up prevention download. Clever. The various names and companies offering downloads and such are: iDownload;QuickSheild; UnitedSoftware; CoolBar.com; Adserver. I've run my updated CWShreader, SpyGuard and the useful Spybot. I have a cable connection. Any thoughts? Responses to this message: re: Pop-Ups by the Billions! (Russ: Friday, March 12, 2004 at 8:24 am) re: Pop-Ups by the Billions!
