Unhappy Pop ups
I have about 3 different pop up blockers and am still bombarded by the annoying pop up adds. Is there any pop bup blockers out there that really works or at least stop most of them. Thanks.

* Click here to download HJTsetup.exe.
Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.

Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

I haven't seen a pop-up window in so long, I've forgotten what they look like. Here's how I solved the problem:

IE7: Installed IE7Pro; Set cookies to allow first party cookies, deny third party cookies, and allow session cookies.

Firefox: Installed Ad-Block Plus add-on

All: Installed Ad-ware and run a scan every time a new definition is released; installed SpywareBlaster.
