I think I remember why I left here before

I get one a day from TT - that's it. I run Adaware, Spybot and Anti-spy daily. I also run CCleaner now and again. About once a week. Live Care about the same. They might help.

You're not using internet explorer are you?

Mozilla offers an option to stop any specific pop up by adding to a list.

I rarely ever get a pop up anywhere and NEVER here ,...that sounds like a problem from 2005.

I almost never see a pop up. I think I have seen less than 5 the past few years I have owned my mac. I don't even run pop up blocker.

yes I use internet explorer (IE7) and use the popup blocker provided as well as spydoctor's blocker. I only get a few pop ups elsewhere but here I get one anytime I click on anything or post a message, etc.

S,
My daughter is interested in a Mac which I know little about, what browser do use, and can you open more than

one browser window at a time and if so can you put them side by side?

That's your number 1 problem !

It has been for years, and with all the new versions it is still inferior.

Switch, and start to enjoy a faster pc that doesn't need to waste resources on a blocker and start to enjoy a pop-up free life!

Let me add to that.....IE7 has "probably" allowed you to get a virus/trojan,... so you'll need a good cleaning with at least 2 good trojan cleaners.

I use mozilla and have no problems with pop-ups. My son is in college and got me away from internet explorer.
