it's over now, but boy was it a nightmare trying to fix this thing until I figured out it was NetNanny, messing with my computer.  |

I forgot to mention that Net nanny has a place where you can input your own sites to block. I put these sites that came up into it, hoping it would block them then, but Nope... they still came up and I know I did it right and typed them exactly. |

I had the same problems you were having but I never heard of "net nanny" I got lucky my first try looking fo an affordable antivirus and spyware removal program...it is called The Shield, and it is 29.99. It's an antivirus program, but also has a program that comes with it called Hackersmacker. And it works miracles. No more pop ups, especially porn site ones. It protects ALL of your personal information, It's not getting out unless you permit it. It will ask you when you get on the internet if certain connections are permited if you don't want it, block it, it's gone forever. You never have to enter anything manually, it figures everything for you except for your personal info. it will ask you to enter that once to enable the privacy protector feature. here is the link if you ever decide to take the plunge and get another pop up smacker/spyware detector....http://www.pcsecurityshield.com/sp/default.htm I really like it. Have a good day Love Yourself,  |

hmmm, you know, you may have some addware embedded on your puter, there are a couple things you could download to check for, and get rid of that. and if you use the right search engine after that you shouldn't have so many pop ups like that... first the search engine... I only use dogpile.com this is a meta engine that uses a dozen other engines or more, but it filters out all the porn sites, so go to www.dogpile.com and use it to look for these two addware sweepers... look up ad-aware6.0 and download that, and whatever that one doesn't pick up spy sweeper will, so look up spy sweeper and download that one too. both are free for home use. and the search engine is great.  |

Maybe it's just me, I get pop-ups but they are generally advertising products, like clearer credit. I have NEVER had a pop-up come up with porn on it.  |

The library here uses net nanny to stop kids from getting onto porn sites. but like you said, it doesnt stop those. but i've tried to access pregnancy sites and stuff, and it wouldnt let me into those due to adult content. Make sense? Nope, didnt think so  |

Azayria, you probably don't have a husband that likes going to those sites on occasion. Those sites download stuff that does the pop-ups, I've told him this and he still goes to them sometimes that's why I'm trying to find a way to block porn completely. |

The best thing is called system mechanic. Look it up on the web, It cost me I think 12.95, not only does it have a great pop up stopper, but a great defrag on it as well as ram recovery. I just love it. |

LOL, I was just checking back to this post, and no Kysta, I do have a husband that does browse through that stuff every once and while, and I still don't get pop-ups with porn on them. Now sure once he is out there and is browsing around they pop up left and right and of course you close the page and another one pops up, but once he gets them all shut down they don't magically reappear. Also in the internet explorer if you click on tools, and then internet options, click on the advanced tab and take out the check mark in the place that says Enable third party browser extensions, it stops a lot of that junk too. |
