I've been getting pop-up adds non-stop, for instance, i can be on URC and get pop-ups. What is worse is that ill have no windows open, just ill be on my desktop and get pop-ups. Its crazy. I dont want a pop-up blocker because they make it hard to navigate the web. Anyway, it started after i clicked a link that my friend gave me to his outwar crap. Ever since i cant get them to go away. My computer is always on the internet (cable) and my router switches IP's every 36 hours or so. Any ideas?

It could be that you need to delete your cookies to try and get rid of it.

I don't know how much it differs between operating systems, cause i have XP pro. For me i just go to my C drive open documents and settings, go into my folder (has different folder for each user and guests etc.), then you open the folder labeled cookies, and delete. Hope that helps.

Bad news! Theyre back as of this morning, I checked my cookies folder and it was again filled, just not as many. I have my internet options setup to only allow cookie from websites i aprove. How are they getting in?

Edit: Theyre getting worse by the minute. It's like they found a hole and are pouring through it!
