Hello Bryan;

Is there anything that can be done about pop-ads?

I can hardly view a site that I access without all these ads poping up. I guess this is what you call "SPAMMING".. really is bad and so is Casino O Net. If I close out a site or attempt to log out to shut down the computer,about six adds will pop-up on the screen. On Luck casino is really bad about this. Then there is all the Gator pop-up ads. These pop-ups are nothing but commercials. If I wanted commercials, I can just watch TV. This is a nusance and if the casinos think that barging in on the screen will direct traffic their way are wrong. As soon as I see the pop-up ads, I immediately delete them without a thought of what they are offering. I think this is an intrution of my privicy, I did not give permission to interrupt and break-in on my on-line sessions. The majority of the spamming is from casinos pushing a big bonus to join and some of them are on your rogue list. I am going to make a list of all the pop-up ads and then contact the casinos to voice my opinion about what they can do with their pop-ups. And let them know their pop-up adds is a waste of time and that I will never patronize the casinos that are infringing on my privacy, interrupting my on-line time and just down right annoying.

First thing you gotta stop is Gator. That is responsible for most of the pop-ups you are seeing.

Once you have done that, start noting down the sites which are using pop-ups that you object to - and don't go there again, but of course let us know which sites they are :)
 
Try this:
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
and read up on why scumware is so dangerous. They offer free tools to rid your machine of scumware, etc.

There are a number of programs that you can download from cnet.com that kill pop ups as well. Most reponsible webmasters understand that too many pop-ups are just plain irritating. I employ only one here (for my newsletter). And that's it.
 
Bryan and Spearmaster:

I checked out the site and ran a complete scan. It came back did I had 54 files infected. But it didn't tell me how to get rid of the infective files.
I downloaded all the information that I thought I would need. And I downloaded everything that I thought pertaining to my situation. But I am still getting pop-ups with the "$you save" And I can't get rid of it. I think this is Gator, but wouldn't all the downloads installed, should this advertizement be stopped?
 
You should be able to go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add Remove Programs - and there you should see the Gator application, and/or something called GAIN.

You can uninstall these and then run something like AdAware again.

Other things can also cause popups as well. I'd need to see the $you save popup in order to know where it came from, but if it doesn't say GAIN or Gator on it, it's not Gator.

Go to
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
and it will also tell you what you have, and gives detailed instructions on how to remove scumware.

See if that helps any...
