Must have picked up a bug on q site as I am getting pop ups on that site only. What can I do. New at this. thanks

Might try setting your browser settings to block pop-ups. May not work 100% but it can make a huge difference.

Another thing that helps is to go into your browser settings and add some extensions/add-ons with names such as:

AdBlock Edge
AdBlock Plus
Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon

What browser are you using? Internet Explorer/Firefox or another browser? If Internet Explorer or Firefox I can take you step by step if you wish.

I don't have any of these enabled and no popups. It's best to update and run security scans first and see if there is malware installed.

Installing AdblockPlus is the best thing I have ever done on my computer. No ads of any kind on the Internet. Love it. Just go to AdblockPlus.org

Open the Internet Explorer browser and follow these steps.

1- Go to top of page where it says "tools"

2- Click on it. You will see a "drop down box"

3- Go all the way to the bottom of this box and you will see "Internet Options", click on it

4- You will see another box pop up. This will have 7 tabs to choose from

5- Open the tab that says "Privacy"

6- Look down that box until you see "Turn on Pop-Up Blocker

7- There is a box to the left of this. Make sure you put a check mark in this

8- Make sure you click on "apply" and then "ok". That will turn on the Pop-Up Blocker
