-GoW-Luker3.1Srgt. Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 IF the pop-ups say somewhere on them somthing about MESSENGER. It isn't MSN messenger. These pop-ups are generated by a program called Gator. The reason you have this program on your computer is because you downloaded another program that was free to have. The program I know of is the DivX player. Since these are free they have to send you annoying messages. To get rid of the messages you have to get rid of the programs you have downloaded and installed lately. If you explore your Start, Programs folder you might find somthing called Gator. It will tell you that to get rid of it you have to unistall the program (like DivX player). Other wise you can try setting you Internet Securty setting to high. It should be under the Securty tab then in Custom... Set the setting (default: Medium) to High. I had this problem and uninstalled DivX player. My friend did the internet securty thing. If you have problems with the internet securty ask [DoL]-sam.gen . Hope this help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer From Away Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 i think google toolbar is my favorite cause it blocks all webpage pop ups and if theres a page where you want pop ups say fa-thearmory you hit the button that says allowe pop upstheres also a counter to tell you how many have been blocked thats really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
