Thanks John I have Windows 7. The pop-up only occur in the bottom corners and when I am on some site. Like Mudcat etc.
I use Microsoft Outlook but have no problem with it. Are you saying that my Outlook could be connected to what I do on the Internet? Not sure I follow.
Sorry.

Charles, I won't attempt disabling Flash because I wouldn't know where to find it. However when my tech friend comes over I will show him this thread and see if it helps him as well.
