    Hey, im having a pop up problem where that random pop-ups come up and take up the whole screen. Ive downloaded a pop-up blocker thingy but is bollix. But the thing that annoys me the most is that when i play games offline, it always shrinks down because sum program wants to get online, i cant find the source to this problem at all. Is it a virus or what. Please help

    download adaware & spybot search & destroy.
    update them & then do a thorough scan in each program.

    or use mozilla firebird with its built in popup blocker...

    you should get a firewall too (dunno if you're on xp, xp has an in-built firewall).

    ...or use OPERA!

    It has built-in pop-up stopper with options to only show *requested* pop-ups.
