My computer has recently been bombarded by popups... even though I
have TWO popup blockers! (One: AdWatch, the other is the Dogpile
toolbar.) I recently also cleaned my computer of virisus (got a new
McAfee virus checker) but I think maybe some settings have been
changed to allow popups. Any ideas?

Use Netscape. I use Netscape 7 extensively, even at work. It has
tabbed browsing and I have *NEVER* had a popup. Neither have I had
activeX drive-by downloads "Would you like to install ...."

Also make sure you're not running Gator or other Gain-supported
software such as "Date Manager" or "Precision Time", which pops up a
message based upon your web browsign habits. (Add/Remove programs).

Likewise make sure you aren't running "Search" toolbars, especially
"WhenU" and other "savings" toolbars.

As other people have said, you should run a spyware utility such as

your system is clean.

If you like Gator, but don't want the popups, I use AI Roboform to
store my passwords. The version 6.0.7 finally resolved an issue with
the Netscape adapter that caused instability, and I'm very pleased
with how it works. Yes, the registered version costs, but I believe it
is worth the purchase, especially since I carry my passwords on a USB
key... everywhere.

If you like to use Internet Explorer, try the popup blocker at
