POP UP'S!

Use this forum for Q&A of a technical nature, i.e., PC, cache, screen related problems, picture resizing, avatars and the like. We will also post facts here for you and instructions of a how-to nature which should make things more fun for you by eliminating some of the frustration with posting photos, etc. Thanks.

Kermit -
I'd suggest you want to check your browser settings - other than at sign-in (which is infrequent, since I use the "Remember me" feature), I've never seen a single pop-up on this Board.

I don't get them either, and my pop-up blocker is set to allow pop-ups from ezboard.

You may want to run a spyware scan on your computer. If you don't have one, here is a good one. It's what I use and it's free:

Your most likely infested with something, it's not EZ Board
download and run the adaware as suggested above, scan for virus's, then go to Microsoft and download the new Defender Beta 2 release, install and run, if Running XP verify you are running service pack 2, if not, back up your data and install all the MS patches.

I run the lavasoft software every few days. It is the best I have found. I have never had a popup on the board! ....or really anywhere since using adaware! You'll be suprised exactly how much spyware is on your computer!

Try setting the date back to before Norton expired, go to the Symantec sight - Find and download the update file (about 11MB) and run it. It should allow the update, then scan for virus's.
Adaware for free is a tough dig through their website, but still available, Microsoft Defender beta 2 is definately free on their sight.
Still having problems getting the files Email me.
