I have adaware and spybot and cannot get rid a popup for WIN ANTIVIRUS 2004. It's the only popup I get. The only time I get it is when I login to check my email in yahoo. As soon as I'm finished typing my name and password and hit enter. It fills the screen. I've activated my computers firewall and continually run Adaware and Spybot to no avail. It's driving me crazy. It's the only popup I have and it only pop ups when I check my yahoo mail. HELP. How do i rid myself of this germ. Thanks, Pat

Any simple popup blocker will fix this.

I recommend AdSubtract as this software will allow you to filter ANY content you find offensive, not just ad's and stuff.

Images you don't like or are tired of loading, block them.

Restricts all other types of browsing hijinx as well according to your wishes.

Great tool.
