No flags in event viewer. I ran an avast scan. When the box comes up I noticed a Menu button that wasn't there before right under File (left corner); and when I opened it I saw Create Technical Report Restore Default Configuration Uninstall This Menu wasn't there before. I clicked on Create Technical Report and this is what I got:: PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THAT CONTENT TO THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT ---------------------------------------- Begin Report ---------------------------------------- 2/15/2009 6:01:37 AM BUILD: 5.0.2.400 OS: Windows XP (Build 2600) Service Pack 3 IE: 7.0.5730.13 IP: 192.168.1.100 Proxy Server: Proxy URL: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE AVGTOOLBAR http://registryhost/Software/AVG/AVG8/AVGToolbar/Config/avgtoolbartb0502.cfg SERVER version Build: 5.0.2.400 6:00:21 AM/820049: 6:00:21 AM/820049: 6:00:21 AM/820049: 6:00:21 AM/820049: ************************************************************* 6:00:21 AM/820049: Activated bar: C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\AVGTOO~1.DLL 11/14/2008 9:09:38 PM 502 AVGTOOLBAR 6:00:21 AM/820139: TBand.LoadImages IN: 6:00:21 AM/820139: TBand.LoadImages OUT: 6:00:21 AM/820139: Check BLOCK_POPUP 6:00:21 AM/820139: Check ANTIBLOCK_POPUP 6:00:21 AM/820139: Disable LAST_SEARCH 6:00:21 AM/820139: Check HIGHLIGHT 6:00:21 AM/820139: ReformWidgets 6:00:21 AM/820139: Render bar: 0 0 6:00:21 AM/820139: TBand.FindPeerPriority1: 986625858 6:00:21 AM/820139: TBand.FindPeerPriority2: 0 6:00:21 AM/820139: TBand.FindPeerPriority3: 986625858 6:00:21 AM/820139: TBand.FindPeerPriority4: (A057A204-BACC-4D26-9990-79A187E2698E) 6:00:21 AM/820139: TBand.FindPeerPriority5: 986625858 6:00:21 AM/820159: TBand.FindPeerPriority6: I am HIGH peer 6:00:21 AM/820159: NeedConfig 1 6:00:21 AM/820159: ReformWidgets 6:00:21 AM/820159: Render bar: 0 0 6:00:21 AM/820199: WMSize: 767 / 767 -

Annoying MEEBO bar at the bottom of screen!
Q
Comments (19)
In internet explorer, open tools, internet options; security tab; select the restricted sites icon; then open the sites button; then add meebo.com you can add it to the restricted sites on firefox also using an add on called Policy Manager Policy Manager Policy Manager 2.2.2009110501 and you can add it to your hosts list, which should do a good job of blocking it or if you use firefox with adblock plus you can add a filter to block it. In fact if you are using firefox do you have ad block plus with the easy list added to it? If not that would be the first thing to do that way you get rid of all the annoying ads and possibly it will block meebo if not a filter for it can be used. Adblock Plus 1.3.3 add that to firefox then restart firefox, next go here and click where it says add easylist to ABP EasyList once you do that restart firefox again to make sure it all took. should you need to create a filter Writing Adblock Plus filters

Those damn pop ups are back

Raven: While I was in GW, I saw something in the bottom right of my screen saying "Allow Pop up Blockers for GW". I hit it inadvertently. Now, I can't seem to get rid of them, although right now I don't see any pop up when I got on today, and as I write this. I don't have the Google toolbar (I'm using Chrome)and don't want it (takes up too much space). I shouldn't have to download anything else just to get rid of pop ups since I "thought" my blocker in Control Panel should do away with them when it's on. Thanks all.

Stop Horrible Pop Up!
Q
Comments (19)
All of a sudden I am having popups no matter what browser I use --Firefox or IE. I used to never have them until about a month ago. On IE it is incessant "Servads" pages that popup on about every third new page. On Firefox, it keeps pulling up a popup that starts playing episodes from different TV shows like the Mentalist. Any ideas?

if you have firefox and adblock plus you MUST add the easylist subscription to block the ads.

Add EasyList to Adblock Plus

to get firefox is simple just go to the mozilla website and download the latest version of firefox offered there.
then go to the addons list and get adblock plus
Adblock Plus 2.1.2
it will then have you shut down firefox and restart, then go to that link I provided above for adding the easylist.

When you do the install of firefox it will ask if you want to make it the default browser you can say no that can be changed at any time, it will ask if you want to import the settings and bookmarks etc from your other browser say yes to all and it will set firefox up exactly the same as your other browser including all bookmark/faves and your home page. The first time firefox opens after installing it will open to the firefox page to let you know all installed well once you close and reopen firefox it will then open to your normal home page.

once you have firefox to use it just click on the firefox icon on your desktop to use it , you can still use IE or any other browser as well they are fine together. just choose which you want to open.

if at any time you do see an ad appear just run your cursor along the edge of the ad and a small pop up will appear saying block click on that and it will ask if you want to add it to the filter list say yes and it will block the ad.

Opera has it built in. Plus it's a faster and better browser. (K-meleon has the ability too.) Doesn't require a patch like Firefox, Chrome, etc. Seems silly to not be part of a browser these days doesn't it? Kind of like a popup blocker. Course there too, Opera led the way.

Hmmm no pop ups here, since I followed Raven's advise with the ad blockers.

I use firefox also.

yayagal you must also do the easylist subscription that I posted it is what tells it which ads to block, so if you have not done that please do it just click on that link and add to adblock plus it is that simple.

ravencajun - I have been using AdBlock Plus since it came out, but I do not have easylist.

What does it do that I should get it?
Right now, I get zero ads on all sites.
How will it improve what I have now?
ravencajun Zone 8b TX

It is possible you have it and don't realize you do. Adblock plus is a program that utilizes a set of filter rules to tell it what to block, with out a subscription to one of the list like easylist you don't get updates to block new types of ads, easylist is maintained and provides those updates. Just like how your antivirus program must get daily definitions to block the latest threats.
You can easily open the adblock plus and look to see which if any filter subscriptions you are using. Any filter list can also be added right in the adblock plus preferences area, I provide the direct link here because it is so easy.
Adblock plus does come with certain filters built in but additional subscriptions will assure you of better coverage.
