spoton popup

crickett · 06-17-2004, 07:06 AM

I keep getting a popup called "spot on"... it seems to be connected to my searches on google, but I'm not sure. I've tried searching my registry for a reference to it and deleting any keys associated with it, but it still is here. Any help? Thanks!

are you using any kind of popup blocker? if not, get the google toolbar. it has a very efficent popup blocker in it.

I'm not a fan of cluttering up my browser with toolbars, but I might try it. How do I get the google one?

Both Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox have a Popup Blocker built in and they do work somewhat quicker then IE. Assuming you don't have one of these browsers installed already I would get one. Since you said you're not real fussy since its your work computer I would get Firefox, small, lean, fast, and has a great Popup Stopper. It also has an estension called adblock that will get rid of all kinds of other ads. Heres a link to installing them:

Firefox and Mozilla are at the top. You can read a little more about them there too. Hope you fix your problem Crickett
