How to stop full page pop ups that bypass pop up blocking

I am getting pop ups that cover 3/4 of my screen These pop ups can be for gaming sites or advertising tool boxes. all and anything can be popping up.It usually happens with my local newspaper in Australia but the sites are overseas. If I go to a gaming site like Slingo which is in the USA I realise I have to allow the pop ups as they help pay for the free games.Their pop up do not interfere with what you are doing whereas the ones I am getting most certainly do.My pop up blocker is turned on but these are getting past it somehow. It was so bad I had to resort to IE and I loathe IE.

Hi,
In System Preferences>Network, highlight or Show Internal Modem>PPP tab>PPP Options button... Prompt every xx minutes.

  • How do I stop the pop-ups that happen every 5 minutes since I updated firefox P.S. firefox is the one that they come from

    normally the firefox browser stops all pop-ups because of the add blocker I have but lately videos and even a new window will pop-up and It will usually play or advertise so I installed another add blocker and they still get thru so the only way they can get thru is ether they are well programed adds or firefox can't block them a/o supports these pop-ups themselves some info would be nice

    Hi Hadosan
    Please find an article on pop-blocker in the link below.

    There is a section on pop-up not being block, try it and hope it solve your problem.

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    Right-click or control-click the line and select

    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:

    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 this Internet criminal 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. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How to create a full page background image that is fluid?

    I'm creating a website for my portfolio, and one of the things I wanted to have is a full page background image that the div tags are in.  I know there is a way to put it in via page properties, but that doesn't allow you to add CSS styles and I want the image to re-size with window changes.  This requires putting the image in a div tag, but then it pushes the other div tags (such as my header section and navigation) so that they aren't over the image like I want.  Is there a way to push the image div tag to the back so that the other div tags go over it.
    I'm using HTML5, and it will also be a responsive design, but the fluid background is only for desktops.
    I don't go on the adobe website often, so if you have an answer to this, or need more information to figure it out please email me at [email protected] and you'll get a faster reply than on this forum.
    Thank you everyone for your help.

    You should set this forum to email you on a reply.
    I don't have a link in your question to determine how you are trying to do this, but here's a technique I have used:
    Take a look at this website and see if it doesn't have what you are trying to do. You'll see the flag in the background and I have used opacity in the layers on top of it to keep the flag somewhat visible.
    Now, what the flag does not do is re-size itself with the viewport (the browser window). But the flag is in a div that sits on top of the body. My code is accessible, but you're looking for the flag div and it's defined in CSS thusly:
    #flag {
              width: 100%;
              background-image: url("../images/polish-flag.png");
              background-repeat: no-repeat;
              min-height: 900px;
    Now, CSS3 adds a new attribute you can apply to the background image thusly:
         background-size: 100% 100%;
    That would make your background fill the viewport.
    I chose to not do that, because I was worried about versions of Internet Exploder before 10.

  • How do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play

    here we go, that is if I'm not driven mad by the process of trying to work out how to use this help thing.
    how do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play ie the character then as an indented bit what they say

    Here's a sample, using what should be a familiar script to any radio drama buff, and showing a few of the features you'll want to incorporate into your template.
    Features noted by arrows:
    This is the "First line indent" margin stop, in this case, set to produce a 'hanging indent'. This stop sets the starting position of the first line of a Paragraph.
    Left margin stop: This stop sets the starting position of all lines in a paragraph except the first.
    When setting margins, set this one first, as it will drag the First line indent stop with it when moved. After setting this one (by dragging it to the position on the ruler where you want it to be), drag the rectangle (First line stop) left as far as it will go.
    Right margin stop.
    Running Header: This is a combination of text that appears on every page, plus the page number / page count—very useful information when someone drops his script. (Typed here, but a combination of typing and inserting the two number calculators from the Insert menu in the actual template.)
    Tab character. Used to move the first line of the dialogue into alignment with the rest of that paragraph. The Left margin stop also acts as a Tab stop.
    Paragraph break (made by pressing the return key). After a Paragraph break, the next line of the script will start at the left margin of the page. To break a long monologue into smaller blocks, use a 'soft return', made by pressing Shift-return, as I've done twice here...
    ...to produce an empty line without creating a 'new paragraph' (or in this case, a new item on the current list.
    Those are the basics for producing the body of your script.
    Regards,
    Barry
    Sample script is an excerpt from:

  • I keep getting tabs opening and pop ups that I don't want AND it has been running very slow with the new upgrade

    Mozilla seems to have done a recent "upgrade" and it has slowed my computer down, created viruses and I continue to get pop ups that last a mile long. I am not sure what has been done, but, I am ready to leave Mozilla.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

    How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
    To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips.  This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
    The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
    What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

  • What is the problem with my desktop imac, that ical has frequent pop ups that say I am not connected to the internet, gives me an option of going offline.

    What is the problem with my imac, that ical has frequent pop ups that indicate I am not connected to the server. Gives me an option of going offline. This seems to have started when I began using icloud with all of my devices.

    I discovered a simple work-around that is successful (at this point in time anyways) on my IMAC/Maverick when sending attachments (not inline or embedded) to PC users.
    There are several threads in here on why attachments embed in mac mail when sending to PCs, and I have had similar issues. Not sure where the fault lies, but other than purchasing an additional program to make mac mail work as other mail programs work when it comes to attachments, I found no real solution that worked for my business PC folks. I did all the right things - sent my attachments in mac mail "windows friendly,"  "plain text," and "attachments at the end" and still got complaints when sending to my pc workmates using Outlook.  I tried another suggestion I found here - zipping the files and sending the zipped file, but my workmates did not like that either and still asked why? 
    By trial and error I discovered that when I attach any pdf to the email as well as the questionable jpgs, the attachments arrive in their PC inbox as attachments that can be used as needed. I don't know why this works, but it has made sending attachments a happier task for my business group.
    I would be interested to see if this works for others.

  • Multiple ad pop ups that dont go away by enabling "pop up blocker"

    Sounds to me like malware on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • I just updated my firefox today and now when I click on my popups or additional windows they pop up full screen. They used to pop up much smaller how do I change my settings so that these pop ups will be smaller?

    This happens when I click on my links they pop up as the full screen not the size they used to show up. I have tried other browsers and the pop ups have not changed in size like Firefox. I will be more than happy to provide screen shots to fully demonstrate my concern.

    I believe this is more about the default settings of the pop-ups. I have tried the 3 methods above and they have not solved my issue.
    As I have stated before this issue is not happening with other web browsers.
    Mozilla is better compatible with the program I am running.
    It seems you know your way around Mozilla so pleas help.
    P.S. I have taken screen shots and attached them to a word doc so I could best illustrate my issue with commentary and arrows but it will not save to my post. I have even tried posting it as a PDF.

  • How to stop a page that is partially downloaded?

    Often I want to stop a page in mid-downloaded and keep it for a while. I don't want to kill it. In Firefox 5 I can't see how to do this.

    Firefox 4.0 / 5.0 have a combined Reload, Stop, & Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar. Only one function is ever active at any one time, so combining them save UI space was a good idea. '''When a page is loading, it is a "Stop" button''', when it finished loading, it turns into a "Reload" button, and when you start to type something into the Location bar it turns into a "Go" button.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > '''Customize'''" window or right-click a vacant area on a Toolbar, ''except fot the Bookmarks Toolbar''.
    * Then drag'n'drop the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the Location bar.
    # Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    # Or "Reload - Stop" then put a flexible space in between the two to prevent the buttons from combining.
    # Set the order to "Stop - Reload" to separate them and get two distinct buttons.
