ok..this wat happened, i was testing out SHOUTcast, and the firewall is keeping on blocking it, so i disabled the firewall on my connection, and tt's where the problem started. the radio did work, but my friend can't hear it properly, coz i have dial up, so i gave up. and my comptuer kinda froze, so i restarted....so it's going all good, i put up my firewall again...and then when ever i go some website, or even doing nothing, a random pop up will apear.. :S it's so annoying, and it's like "Search result for [some random thing]" and it kept on happening, so i thought my comp was infested with adware/spy wares, so i scaned the comp with 3 different programs.. - spy bot result: 0 - Adware result: 205 *all deleted* - ewido result: didn't count..about 40+ most deleted...some says error while cleanign.. so i thought everything would be fine..but no...the pop ups kept on coming! :S wat's going on? help?> |

The website has to add pop-up advertisements to pay for the free service they offer. There's not much you can do. If the radio opens up in another window, then I doubt using firefox would be any good (since it may block it also), but it might. http://www.getfirefox.com |

Learn a lesson. ditch IE, get Opera. Opera can block unwanted or all popups, so you could still see the popups you want to. |

Use a different client to open up the raidio in. Use RealPlayer or Just do online streaming, not using Media Player. And for the love of god use FIREFOX |

It doesn't stop the malware which causes the pop-ups in the first place though. |
