 Topic: NEED a GOOD POP-UP blocker,,,,,
Posted: 12 Nov 2023 at 3:22pm |
I have been almost completely covered up with CONSTANT pop-ups,,,and am looking for who on here uses a POP UP Blocker and is satisfied with a GOOD POP-UP blocker or something,,,!!! I've been trying for 2 days,,to order some bearings for a project and cannot even complete an order on Amazon or Ebay,,because of the MANY constant pop-ups covering the cart area and there is NO WAY to delete the pop up without closing the page and start from scratch,,,!!! Even contacted Amazon CS to let them know of their customers being blocked and unable to complete an order and asking for their help,,,,?? Any help out there,,??

maybe 4-5 years, before the chinese invaded us. if a site says' you're using a blocker, turn it off to continue', you can tell ABP to 'allow' that website. it's blocked 4 ads from here,another OTT(Orange Tractor Talks) it block dozens !

A pop up blocker might help... But you seem to have a BIGGER problem.. Some type of virus on the computer... It is not the SITES doing it. ....
Some programs like GOOGLE have a built in add blocker to get rid of random pop up screens.. I still get "adds" within the sites, but i think this is normal.. If your getting SCREENS popping up, that is not.

Well, Steve,,I did a "SYSTEM RESTORE",3 days ago, which scrubs everything that has been added AFTER the new restore point you pick,,,,to an earlier date that I figured this whole thing started,,,maybe I did not go back far enough because I'm still getting them today...What is very frustrating is that you cannot "X" em out as there is NO "X",,on the ad,!!! You "HAVE" to close the page you have open and start all over,,!!

Sorry to have jeopardized your facade but I do know that is where a lot of it comes from although I'd prefer not to say just how I know.

Joe, I assume you are talking about using your computer? Not your cell phone? Yes, definitely a virus. Do like I said and get someone close to you to download Malware Bytes onto a flash drive and insert it into your computer and then open that drive and 'run' it. It will show you the virus(es) and destroy them for you. Let us know how you come out.

Watch which Ad Aware you download as one has more mining than blocking . If your running Google they have a list of downloads you can safely use and As Aware is one that is clean .
I run CC Cleaner also to remove many things I didn't know had downloaded cookies and other junk . Run it every few days when starting up = only takes a few moments to clean junk ( FOR FREE ) Advanced System Car (Free) also finds a lot of things . IO Bits mailware fighter is also (FREE) and it's a thing I run .
