Stupid
pop-ups & pop-unders!
Pop-ups, and
pop-unders can be very frustrating and they can
in some cases be harmful.
Websites will often use pops as advertising so
they can make money to keep their site alive and
although these are harmless they can still be
annoying.
The other kind of pop that is to be avoided is
provided to you through spyware.
You may download a program that installs spyware
onto your computer and this program will run in
the background producing pop-ups and pop-unders
based on the topic that you are searching for on
the internet.
Pop-up blockers can stop the pop from ever
showing and although you may think that the
problem is gone it could still be running in the
background slowing down your computer and
sending gathered information back to the spyware
software's company.
For these reasons we recommend that you install
a spyware detector and use it about once a week
just to make certain that your computer is clean
from any militias or annoying programs.
