Subject: RE: BS: I've put paid to my random pop-ups!
I use(d) PopUpKiller, and was fairly satisfied. Some popups got through.

I read the comments about Ad-A-Ware, and downloaded it. Did nothing further. Now PopUpKiller complains about a lot of non-ad popups, and some actual popup ads, giving a window something like "PopUpKiller finds that "" is probably a popup. what do you want to do?" and it gives four buttons--ignore, close, blacklist, and something else. NONE OF WHICH WORKS!

In order to access PalTalk I have to exit PopUpKiller and put up with the popups.

Since this problem was immediate after downloading Ad-Aware, I assume it is to blame. I would delete it, but know neither the file name nor the directory in which it resides.

Anybody got any advice?
