How to disable pop-ups

I seem to have a bit of an issue on my MacBook Pro with pop-ups. I use Google Chrome and I thought this was a Chrome issue. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it, but when I used Safari to re-install, I had pop-ups come up on Safari, so it isn't a Chrome issue.
I am unsure if this is a Java plug-in issue or what, but I'm getting pop-ups everywhere and I do work quite a lot on my MacBook. I keep getting pop-ups such as MacKeeper, Purifier, EuroMillionaire, etc. I noticed I had MacKeeper and removed it. I will admit, I was working rapidly on Friday afternoon and I think I may have disabled Java or something. I am not sure how to go to the settings and adjust this.
Please let me know how I can erase this. I've had this MacBook since late 2008 and haven't had this issue. I am on OS X 10.9.5 if that matters. Thank you in advance.

One of the best tools available is to go to Thomas Reed's site, http://www.thesafemac.com then the link to AdwareMedic and get his little program AdwareMedic.  That will block adware popups and remove adware that may be resident.

    How to allow pop-ups in iPad Safari?

    Do you have an Exchange (e.g. a work) email account set up on the iPad ? If you do then it's possible that the account profile is preventing you turning popups 'on', in which case you would need to contact the email account administrator

  • How to allow pop-ups on certain websites

    I have pop-ups blocked and want to keep it that way, however I would like to disable the pop-up blocking on certain websites. I know how to do this in IE for Windows, but do not know how to do this in Safari on my MAC.
    I assume this can be done. Does anyone know how to do it?

    While the Command-Shift-K provided by QuickTimeKirk certainly works to turn the feature on and off.
    I'm with G$R, how do I get Safari to remember the list of sites I visit to automatically allow popups?

  • How to stop **** pop ups

    I keep getting pop ups of naked women with a link to local s***s!  on my iPad 2... I'm only on furniture websites and catalogues and thy have no links for this kind of stuff and it does not show in history... Any advice on how to stop this would be much appreciated.

    This is either a hack of that site, if the problem occurs only with that site, or you are on a compromised network, most likely a hacked wireless router. See:

    Note that this topic is about a year and a half old, and much has changed in that time.

  • How to suppress pop ups in BDC

    Hello,
    We have a requirement wherein we need to do a recording for the tcode COR2. But during recording, I get some information pop ups in the screen. These are standard pop ups and cant be disabled by any configuration. Since BDC recording doesn't capture these pop ups, we cant use the BDC generated code for posting the document as this would result in error. I tried by giving the ok code for ENTER, but it doesnt seem to work. During recording these pop ups needs to be separately handled by pressing enter. But these wont be captured in the BDC recording.
    Can anyone help me out with the solution for this?
    Thanks.

    Try running the bdc in mode N or try with populating X to no_binput.
    like
    DATA: LA_PARAMS TYPE  CTU_PARAMS.
    LA_PARAMS-DISMODE = 'A'.
    LA_PARAMS-UPDMODE = 'L'.
    LA_PARAMS-NOBINPT = 'X'.
    CALL TRANSACTION 'XXX' USING I_BDCTAB               
                                           OPTIONS FROM LA_PARAMS
                                           MESSAGES INTO I_MESSTAB.

  • How to allow pop-ups to open?

    How do I change my current latest version of Firefox mobile to allow pop-ups to open?

    Hi scarestar,
    Thank you for your question. In order to change the pop up blocker setting on Firefox for Android, it is possible to navigate to the about:config page and search for "Popup". There will be a few features:
    autocomplete.grab_during_popup
    browser.popus.showPopupBlocker
    dom>popup_allowed_events
    dom.popup_maximum
    privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
    privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
    Please take a look at these features to determine what kind of pop up you would like to turn back on.
    Thank you and I hope this helps.

  • How to block pop-ups in Safari 8

    How do I block pop-ups in Safari 8.
    Since I purchased a new Mac with system 10,2, Safari is driving me nuts with constant pop-ups
    The is no «block pop-up windows» in this version.

    Safari 8's control for this is in the Security tab of its preferences, and is on by default.
    If needed, click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
