Good Morning,  I inquired with The Computer Lady on this question and she referred me to this site.  I am running Win XP (classic edition) using DSL.  I have these constant nuisance popups that show up right on my desktop even when I am away from the computer.  I don't even have to be using any browsers, they just come right in. I understand that using DSL leaves your pc vulnerable for these but there must be a way to curb or stop them.   I remember reading somewhere in TCL newsletter that there is a way to stop or block these ads but I did not save it.  Also, I am looking for a browser popup blocker.  The only one I can find free does not work with Yahoo, which is my browser.  If you have any tips, it would be much appreciated.  Thanks for your time-Mary in Ct.
