Need a pop up solution

[cmitchell17]

Every like 5 min ill be playing Battlefield 2 and then a pop up will come up and minimize my screen it makes me so mad. I have sp2 and get the internet explore pop up blocker but they still come up even if internet explorer inst open. What can I do about this and if there is nothing i can do how can i make it to where when i am in BF2 a pop up cant minimize the game.

Wait, you have internet browser up while BF2? Haven't played BF2 yet, but can you try firefox, mozilla, etc?

You can try installing google tool bar and see if thats blocks the pop up for IE.

you have spyware installed thats doing it. you need to get rid of it.

Spyware or adware problem; check the software forum for info on how to get rid of it.

Only reason for popups without having a browser open is spyware. Please refer to my detailed spyware removal instructions here: http://theflyingpenguin.com/spyware-removal.shtml

I use Adaware and scan it all the time. Ill look at everything though and the only reason why I would have internet explorer on while in BF2 is to try to block the pop ups.

Adware doesn't detect anything anymore. Both adware and spybot have been off my radar for a year. I do this for a living. Follow my instructions and you should be able to remove most anything except the worst of it.
