*** MCF Pop`Ups *** ?
Hi Member's,
Below are some links & I hope that they help you block the pop `ups...
I scanned the MCF & found no problems.
I don't get any pop `ups & I search everywhere on the web & the MCF (4-Sure)
Check your Browser Security settings...Spyware can infect your computer & permit pop `ups. Check your settings & do a scan of your computer.
================================================== ==================
(I am using Internet Explorer & Windows Security Essentials)
I am self taught on computers & not a expert for sure!
I hope one of our computer expert/techs can add some advice to this thread ~> PLEASE

* When is the last time you did a complete scan of your system ?
Have you checked on your browser to confirm that you have (checked) turned on your pop up blocker ?
My I.E. looks like the below

Hi `Kyle,
Have you run a security scan on your computer ?
Did you read the above links to see `if they help ?
What browser are you using ?
I was getting them a few months `ago, but they stopped after I did a full scan of my computer
I check ever new web page before I post a link on the MCF.
I hope one of our expert Computer member's can post some infor to help...
It sounds like spyware might have invaded a few member's computers

Hi `David & Member's,
I just added a poll to see if we can tell how many member's are experiencing pop`ups that interfere with their MCF experience.
I know that `Lou (Taz) will check & if there is anything he can `do to correct `it he will. He spends a voluminous amount of time behind the scene of our forum to help all the member's & keep our forum running smooth. (Thank `Lou) 4-Sure
I hope that we can find why it is happening to a few member's & not to other's
