    Need a super super popup stopper.

    Help, I am flooded with popups and I have tried many popup stoppers tools and still can't get the one that works...

    The popup stoppers I tried do get rid of normal popups but not the type that appears as a picture in the middle of my desktop..... No windows title... can't command my tools to kill it...

    What is this type of ads... why so stubborn? It always stays on top of other windows and blocking my views to others...

    Some have a little "close x" that can click to close and some..... don't even work at all !!

    Please advice what to do.

    Thanks.

    My guess you have Adware ... you may have installed a rogue popup stopper thats giving you popups . You need to run some good spyware / adware apps .

    CounterSpy , Ad Aware SE , Adware Away , Ewido Anti Trojan , HijackThis , SmitRem etc ...

    Forget pop up blockers. Get Firefox with the extension adblock.

    I get ZERO popups.
