First, while I understand your frustration, please remember, these are open
forums. Children, women and others who might find your language, even
implied, offensive read these boards so please be careful in the future.
You don't say whether the popups happen while you browsing the Internet or
while you have the browser closed. If they happen, even when you are not
browsing the web, the best and easiest way to stop such popups are with a
firewall. There are several free versions:
www.agnitum.com
www.zonelabs.com
www.sygate.com
http://www.tinysoftware.com/home/tiny2?la=EN
http://www.kerio.com/kerio.html
If they are happening while you have the browser opened, try PopUp Stopper:
www.panicware.com
Note, online popups are set by the sites and the ads on the site.
As to your second issue, again, I'm not sure if you are talking about online
speed or the speed of your system but the first thing you want to do is make
sure your antivirus software is up to date and run a scan of your system.
Also, be sure there is no malware installed on your system. Download,
install and run Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com Note, the fact you may not have installed such software
is irrelevant, such software can be installed on wittingly when you click
something at a website and might have been installed during the course of
clicking, hitting keys on your keyboard, etc. when you were trying to stop a
popup.
