Popups not blocked on Safari..? pop-ups June 2007

Hi everyone,
On Safari, I have popups blocked and on Private Browsing, this eve I did a Gooogle Search, in the results, I clicked on the 'cache' part, encyclopedia something etc .com, and I got a popup Window: 'Notice: your computer has tracks of all.... etc, Would you like to Install "DriveCleaner to" .
I had 2 Safari Windows open, generic sites, Craigs and the 'Cache' google search wouldn't load. The comp was 'stuck' (not using the word frozen), to avoid the popup, I had to force Quit applications, then I reset Safari, (there was a cookie in there for drivecleaner .com)
This is June 07', I haven't seen popup post's on this forum since December, anyone else have this problem?, Seeking idea's so it NEVER happens again...
P.S. I didn't get a window up from apple, to describe what I was doing when this happened, (I've had 1 0f those in a year and a half), Thanks

I am having the same problems even though I have popups blocked on Safari. I am getting popups from drivecleaner and errorprotector. I was also 'stuck' where nothing worked except to cancel or agree to drivecleaner.
The same with errorprotector, except when I clicked on cancel, another popup opened still not allowing me to do anything other than to cancel or agree. When I clicked cancel to that, a window opened and that window tried to download something on my system. Force quit didn't even work, I had to manually shut the computer off. This has happened 5 times this week already.
I also didn't get a window from Apple so I could report the problem.
Has anyone found an effective way around this problem yet?????
Edit: I didn't know whether to post a new question or make a post here since I am having the same problem. Sorry if I did it wrong.

Safari pop-ups genuine?

          A number of times recently when I am online with Safari, small windows pop-up purporting to be from Safari warning of malware, and urging to click on a 'Continue' button to run a check.
         These windows look identical to the ones that appear when you choose 'Quit Safari' and there are more than one window open, which has the Safari icon in it and says 'Are you sure you want to quit Safari? . . .2 windows are open in Safari. Do you want to quit anyway?' and there is a 'cancel' and 'quit' button option.
          Because there has only been the one 'Continue' button, and not a second ' Ignore' or 'Quit' button that I am usually familiar with, or a 'Close' button, I have always just quit Safari and relaunched it again.
         My suspicion is these are not to be trusted . . . am I correct?

Those are malware, do not ever click on pop-ups, in fact, under Safari in the menu bar, select block pop-ups, which should help to get rid of them. Under no circumstances should you click on the pop-up window, your suspicions are completely valid!

I have enabled pop-blocker but still pop-ups are getting opened.

Hi Team,

Can you please help me?

How do I dis-able the pop-up blocker when the box is not checked and yet, pop ups are being blocked?

I want to totally disable Mozilla's pop-up blocker. I went to the tools/options page and found that the pop up blocker box is not checked but it is still blocking pop-ups. I see that others are having the same problem. How do we fix it, or, is this a programming issue and if so, is Firefox fixing it? It is quite annoying.

Could you click the Exceptions button to the right of "Block pop-up windows" and make sure none of those sites is specifically blocked?
If you have unchecked the box and there is no site-specific setting, that usually does it...
Is it possible that an add-on is doing the blocking? A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
Check the Options dialog > Content to make sure the pop-up blocker is turned off.
If popups now work correctly, this points to one of your extensions as the most likely culprit. If you restart in normal mode, you can try disabling (or adjusting the options of) any that seem possibly popup-related (e.g., security related) here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Any change?

Blocking the remaining pop-ups

I know Apple says I can "block the vast majority" of pop-ups just through the Safari menu. I've done that. The problem is that there are so many pop-ups I still have to work around a pretty vast minority of them.
Are there any good downloads (or any other solutions) that will block unwanted pop-ups in Safari (currently using 4.0.4) without interfering with user-intended webpage activities?

Some popups are better able to be blocked by Firefox, or Camino than Safari. I'd try a variety of Mac web browsers on the websites you visit the most often, and choose the one that has the best combination of features and ability to visit websites you need*:
http://www.macmaps.com/browser.html
Note some popup addons such as PthHelmet have a tendency to break with Mac operating system updates, and need a followup update to be compatible, so be careful if you add things to Safari that might break later on. Be aware of whether or not they work with specific browser/operating system updates before applying those updates.
Of course you can always write the webmaster of the website in question threatening to stop doing business with them if they don't stop putting up popups and popunders.

How do I stop safari pop ups?

Every now and then I get a pop up in safari on my ipad, just a small box saying:
http://topappleapp.info
Top Apple games
Free download now, the last day!
The only option I have from here is to click ok, which then redirects me to the App Store to a Bingo Bash app. I Anzac obviously just close this and go back to safari, but the website I was on then disappears and say 'Loading, please wait' but nothing loads. Refreshing doesn't help, neither does the back button.
This has always happened on the same website as far as I can remember - just a site I use for recipes called onegreenplanet.org. I have used this website so many times without any problems, but it is very frustrating when this happens.
I have turned on the 'block pop ups' (which was actually already on when this was happening), cleared history and cookies, then restarted but still get the pop up. Any ideas???

I have this problem on an iPad 4 (7.0.4) with Safari, tried 'Block Pop-ups' (was already on), 'Clear History', 'Clear Cookies and Data', restart iPad; all to no avail.
There is something about the sites you are visiting, I'm consisitantly getting it for twitchfilm.com, but not others.
Doesn't happen when I navigate to the same site with Safari on an iPhone 5S (7.0.4), or from Safari on an iMac (not surprisingly as it is a link to the App store). I haven't tried using another browser on the iPad.
It is very annoying and has effectively barred me from visting this site due to the reasons given above.

Block app ad pop ups

How can I stop Safari pop up ads for my iPad air? Pop ups are for apps and it redirects me to various app stores. My Safari block pop ups is already activated; have reset my iPad numerous times; cleared cookies and data; cookies blocked from third party advertisers and it still no help.

If you're getting ads while browsing sites that should not contain ads, that's going to be a network problem of some kind.
More likely, though, you're getting ads that are normal for the sites you're visiting, in which case you should take this as a sign that those sites are crap and should be avoided. Alternately, if you're getting pop-up ads in certain apps, you just need to either buy the full, ad-free version of that app or quit using the app.

Blocking ads and pop ups

Have the newer version of the WSA give us the option not to display an message when an ad or pop up is blocked?
I have asked about this before and I thought that is was in the blueprints for a future release I just wanted to see if is has been done.
I get a lot of complaints that websites are being blocked and really its just ads and pop ups.Other url filters that I have used in the past for ads and pop ups dont display this ad or pop up has been blocked message.
Thanks

Just FYI ... we currently acheive this by using a custom (redirected from ironport) block page for all of our block messages. We then design this .asp block page to display differently depending on what fields are passed to it in the URL. If the category=Advertisements, then the block page appears as a simple white page with the text "This advertisement has been intentionally blocked ... "
This also allows us to design custom 504, 503 pages etc, as well as different block pages depending on the user's IP address range.
Can you share with us how you did this, I am new to the IronPort and have some .asp experience. I would like to know how to blank out the ad pages and have a message come up for the other blocked pages. Thanks!

Firefox is blocking too many pop-ups, eliminating some essential pics

When I go into Ebay or Paypal there are pop-ups being blocked. My pics on Ebay listings are not appearing in Firefox, do appear in other browsers.

All you have to do is add those sites to your exceptions. You can find the instructions [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-ups&as=s#w_pop-up-blocker-settings here].

I have mistakenly allowed pop-ups on a particular website. How do I change this to block or disallow pop-ups? Can it be changed back?

While I was in a website, I had a message to allow, block etc pop-ups but I think I may have mistakenly pressed 'allow'. I wish to change a pop-up allowability. Can it be changed back?

# Click the orange Firefox button or, if the application menu is enabled, click '''Tools''' followed by '''Options'''
# Click on the '''Content''' icon/category
# Next to where it says ''Block popup windows ''click the '''Exceptions''' button
# Select the site for which you wish to revoke the exception then click the '''Remove Site''' button

1and1 Webmail signing out only on this computer, won't sync, blocking non-existant pop-ups & windows

My webmail is auto signing me out several times a day, but only on this computer. It's set for 'private', I've uninstalled and reinstalled that program, cleared cache and re-started, same thing with Firefox.
Firefox is also frequently blocking pages from opening that apparently don't exist, and blocking non-existent pop-up windows as well.
Today I got an error message that my sync password was rejected, which is odd since it's set to manually sync and nothing's been changed. All the resets happened days ago. It also wouldn't let me use my password, but let me change it.
Since this is the only computer I'm having the problems on I'm assuming that it's either the version of Firefox that I'm using or something in my computer that suddenly isn't playing nice with Firefox, but I don't know where to start, other than once again un and re-installing it (which did nothing).
Thanks for any help!

I kept getting that error message. I thought that since I'm syncing with my corporate email so the calendar syns wirelessly with Outlook, that it was causing a conflict.
I just found this post though, and other people said it worked for them
