Switch to firefox still get occasional popups

[69bananabeast]

 Havent had any popups from FireFox although I still get some from internet explorer out of nowhere . should I just delete IE ?

You can't technically "delete" IE - it's built in to the operating system. If you are getting popups from IE and you aren't using it then you most likely have something installed that you don't want (a virus, trojan, spyware, or adware - most likely adware).

I do not know much about computers but I ran the spybot search and destroy program and that took care of about 75% of my pop ups.  My google tool bar pop up blocker took care of the rest.  I probably only get about one pop up for every 24 hours online.

I've had Firefox on my home confuzer for almost a year now. I've only had ONE popup that I'm aware of...I damned near took a picture of it!

i LOVE firefox

I have them on both my pc's

whats great is that the college has them on all their pc's too

just wish websites would like, have it as a useable browser ( like Yahoo! Launch )

its sweet cause you can change skins and everything and tinker it to your liking 

I'm still waiting for a pop-up... -knocks on wood-
