Savan Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I keep getting pop ups for things I don't want,and virus/ad ware/spy ware scans don't seem to remove it. What will happen if I select to view the source, and delete it, and save it. will that pop up stop, or will I just have an empty text document on my computer.

Kash Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Popups are server-side, changing their code on your own machine won't stop them. What browser are you using? If IE, I would suggest using Firefox or Opera instead as they have built-in pop-up blocking. I only get maybe one or two popups a week using Firefox...well technically, that's wrong, I get pop-unders, because I don't notice them until I close my browser and find it was lurking back there for who knows how long.
