I am going insane with popups!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know how to get rid of popups??

I mean insane popups that are taking over the computer. My 'genius' dh left kazaa open all night long and now I am inundated with popups everywhere!

Is there anything I can download to get rid of them?!!

Thanks so much in advance!

i agree to get the pop up stopper but you may also need to run ad-aware (or a similar software). Do a search for it and download it, I think it should be free.

I 2nd google toolbar - we have it at work and it's great. I also use google alot at work so it's nice having the search box right there.

The only thing - if you go to a website (like if you normally pay bills online) unblock it. I find that alot of sites that let you pay bills online have 'pop up' boxes where you put your login and ID. Then you can re-block again.

It tells you how many have been blocked which I think is neat.
