If you are going to certain webpages, they sometimes have popups and enabling your popup blocker usually takes care of these. However, if you are not on the internet and it pops up on its own, then you may have malware or spyware on your hard drive and may need to get rid of it. Don't do this by downloading spyware removal. This will only put more on. There aren't any reliable free downloads to remove spyware without putting more on. It should be done by a professional who can go in and take out the programs that are causing these popups to happen. Or perhaps you can find a friend who knows computers really well and can clean your hard drive for you.

Or you could get a Mac. ^_^


Hope this helps,

You should be able to go into your "file" menu and choose "block pop-ups" or "disable cookies". This will do it, but keep in mind that enabling the blockers can also end up blocking certain websites or images on those websites. But if that happens all you have to do is go back and reverse what you do. Easy!
