i have never used that software but the other post that suggest adaware is good or u can use zone alarm free edition. even with zone alarm, u can still get the annoyng popups if u dont have it configured properly. also make sure u right click your network connection in the control panel, get properties and make sure client for microsoft networks is unchecked. if u dont want to worry about installing new software or messing with settings, just use ICF (internet connection firewall) that comes standard with win xp, assuming u r using win xp. its actually a very good firewall for inbound traffic but doesnt police outbound, wich is how most trojans and worms work. but if u keep your OS updated with the windows update and your antivirus updated u will not have to worry about this. i had this same problem when i first used zone alarm come to find out it was a simple setting and it was fixed. on my gaming machine i use ICF and it works fine, no more popups interupting my game or any of that. if u want help turning on ICF just post back.

I used that pop-up stopper at one point, it sucks, and it waste space on my harddrive, it worked well for a day, than it died out, I use the google toolbar and it rocks. So... what ever floats your boat.

think u replied to wrong guy but whatever u meant, google toolbar is great popup stopper for IE but thats not the kind of popups manslaughter was getting. he was getting popups that search for active network IP's with open ports thru firewalls.

Duncan u wanted to give me a screenie of a guy getting hung remember????

You can also just download Mozilla (www.mozilla.org). Theire is an popup killler integrated in that browser and it's a better browser then that sucky MIRCOSHIT EXPLODER (theire are more advantages). If you download it don't forget to turn the popup killer on.

i think everyone is getting confused here. manslaughter isnt talking about popups on his webbrowser. he is getting the kind that look for active network ips that have open ports in the firewall. if u have your firewall configured correctly, then u probably havent seen these before. if u dont know what these are, all it takes is an active network connection, cable or dsl, and an improperly configured firewall. these popups randomly search the net for their victims. his problem is that when is playing a game, these popups come up and stop his game to display their crap ware ads. this is why in earlier post i told him to go to his network connection and uncheck client for microsoft. if this is checked, then the ports will be open and those are the ports the popup ads lookfor thru your firewall. and by default, this is checked along with network and printer sharing, he doesnt need an Internet Explorer popup stopper, thats a completley different animal altogether.

OKAY. Here is the way to fix this.

1. Right click "My Computer"

2. Go down and click "Manage"

3. There should be a tree on the left side, double click the "Services and Applications" thing at the bottom.

4. The window to the left of that tree should have something called "Services" double click it.

5. A big list with all your system services shows up, scroll down until you see one that says "Messenger" and double click it.

6. A new window pops up, it should have several things. Go to were it says "Startup Type" next to it, it should be set to "Automatic," change it to "Disabled" by clicking the dropdown box and selecting "Disabled."

7. Next, look down a little more, you should see a button labled "Stop." Click it.

8. Click apply.

9. Click ok.

10. Exit out of all that, restart you computer and bam.

This does not effect windows messenger or msn messenger, it just kills the popups.

Re: I Am Deeply Anoyed My Enternet Pop Ups That Scrue Up My Game..need Help Badly
 

hey i have an idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe i should put my firewall on????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I Am Deeply Anoyed My Enternet Pop Ups That Scrue Up My Game..need Help Badly
 

exode's post on how to turn off the messenger service should have worked so go through it again and make sure u did it correctly. make sure startup type is disabled, service status stopped and dont forget to hit apply before u hit ok. and yes, its always good to have firewall up lol

Re: I Am Deeply Anoyed My Enternet Pop Ups That Scrue Up My Game..need Help Badly
 

Thank you cloudy. Yes, these are the net send popups. Now they are types of advertisements and they are annoying, i would reccomend all of you do that.
