What popup appears on your computer the most?

[MiniMandaRuth]

For me, it's always something to do with ringtones. I remember one day I was on the computer and I got five of the same popups. Then I got four more popups of the same popup. All for ringtones.

I HATE POPUPS.

1. "Party Poker"

I'm not going to play online poker. Not now, not ever. I'm sick of these bullshit poker pop-ups

2. What kind of security do you have? Most firewalls come

with a popup blocker.

3. I use Firefox. I don't get popups.

6. Same here .....

Popups/unders are only for people who use anachronistic MSIE.

9. Firefox user here too. Didn't even realize pop-ups were still a prob.

I had to use Internet Exploder the other day at school. Gods, what a piece of crap that program is! I'm really stumped as to why people still use it. :shrug:

4. "Win a Free PS3!"

Of course it's too good to be true. You have to sign up for a thousand free trials, and a lot them aren't even free.

Of course, that's on the work computer. I rarely have that problem at home. Three pop=up blockers and Firefox. They work wonders.

5. I use Firefox... but sometimes one will squeak on through

usually it's "Warning! Your PC is running too slow! Click here to download some more spyware garbage, hurry!"

7. i use Safari so i haven't seen a pop-up in a long time.

[MiniMandaRuth]

10. I use safari too...

I wonder if popup blocker is turned off for some reason...

8. Pop...up?

I know not of what you speak.

11. I'll tell ya one I'll bet you don't see much of anymore....

I call it the Granddaddy of Pop-Ups: remember those awful X-10 webcam ads? I think they started the ball rolling.

But the ones I see mostly are insurance, refinance, and dating ads.
