How do i stop pop ups on my laptop

I have tried all of the instructions on the securities settings and I still cannot stop pop ups.  Is there another way to do this?  Could I possibly have a virus?
Thanks...

Are you seeing pop-up ads on sites that should not have such ads? If so, see my Adware Removal Guide.

  • How do I stop pop-ups in Safari beyond "block pop-up windows" since that does not work

    Do I type more details here? Do I take pictures? Change my font? Why????
    WHY can't I simply ask a question and get other users to comment or answer the question? You have made everything so much more complicated.
    When I go into the Apple store and present these issues, I get silly grins and tee-hees followed by "yeah, this is the way they do it now."
    At one point I am asked if I "LIKE" something. Who cares? Just fix the darn computer! What are tags and why?
    Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday.

    Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site.  This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue.  I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser. You can get more information about this by clicking here.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_ad

  • How do I stop pop ups every time I click a link

    Im using safari 6.1.6 and OS X 10.8.5 and whenever I click on legitimate websites I get pop ups. This could have been cause by mistakenly downloading something I shouldn't have. Im not sure if its related but now when I try and do a google search I get a list of google adds before my results with a yellow box saying 'ad' this didn't happen yesterday. Does anyone know what needs to be done to stop all this? Im a basic user and with little knowledge of the system.

    Go step by step and test.
    1. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
        download AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
        http://www.adwaremedic.com
       Install , open,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
       Once done scanning and removing the adware, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
        and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn those off and try Safari.
    3. Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
        Press “Remove all website data” button.

  • How Do I STOP pop ups FROM enabled when I Have disabled them to pop up it happens when I am workin on an important document a real pain

    I have i web based stock system and it requires pop ups I have enabled for the pop ups and things work fine the all of a sudden my pop ups are blocked and the only way to continue I have to reboot my computer

    Hello fisherman66,
    Firefox usually doesn't block pop-ups, especially if you allow them, but extensions and some security software can block pop-ups.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How do i stop pop-ups from appearing on mac?

    I tried watching some movies online the other day and I don't know exactly what I pressed but ever since ads are appearing on safari and I don't know how to stop it. I tried downloading ad blocker but theres so many and I would have to block every single thing on every website I go to. I tried uninstalling everything I previously downloaded and I checked my extensions and everything but there's nothing there.. this is what it looks like.. any help would be appreciated!

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How can I stop pop-ups saying "There is a problem logging on to server...You do not have permission..."., How can I stop pop-ups saying "There is a problem logging on to server...You do not have permission...".

    I have a Mac Mini (early 2009) running OSX 10.8.1 on a Windows network that is driving me nuts.
    Background
    Typically, 6 or 7 computers are running (Windows 7, OSX 10.8.1 and Linux) on the network at any given point in time.   Network printers and hand helds (iphones, PlayBooks, etc.) are also connected.
    The problem
    If one specific Windows 7 desktop is running, a pop-up error message comes up frequently.  The eror message is: 
    There was a problem connecting to the server "[Server name or IP]".    You do not have permission to access this server.
    The pop-up sometimes refers to the device name and sometimes refers to the IP address of the desktop.
    Oddities:
    This does not occur on a MacBook Pro also running 10.8.1
    The error message does not occur for other Windows computers on the network.  I have laptops running Windows 7 Professional that have never shown up on the error message..
    Files on the problem desktop are easily accessible through [Finder].
    Things I've tried to resolve the problem:
    Ran software update - multiple times
    Changed the destination drive for [Time Machine] and completed a backup
    Cleared the "Recent Server" list from the [Finder][Go][Connect to Server] screen
    Attempted to demount the desktop in [Finder].  The option was not available
    Disconnected from the desktop in [Finder].  This did not resolve the problem and the desktop was automatically showing on the [Shared] list in [Finder] after the next reboot.
    Booted in SAFE mode to see if the problem re-occurred in SAFE mode.  It did not.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

    Thank you.  It wasn't in there directly, but CISCO's "Network Magic" was there.  Removing it appears to have solved the problem.
    Thanks again and have a good weekend.

  • Applemac OSX 10.7.5 How do I spot pop ups appearing every time I click the mouse on-line. this has only just started.have I clicked something  wrong??

    How can I stop pop ups apprering every time I use the mouse on-line. have I clicked on something wrongly??

    You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
    Blocking popup windows in Safari and ad blocker extensions can be useful, but they are often ineffective defenses for this particular threat.

  • How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.
