For some reason, pop-ups and banners have started appearing again when i browse tinternet.

I use Norton Personal Firewall 2003 to block them, and its always worked until the last couple of days, I can't work out whats wrong, because Ad Blocking is On.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Hugo.

You have spyware, scan with adaware or spybot s&d.

Try updating your scanner.

Just scanned, hmm that is wierd, try a different browser maybe like firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox).

try popup popper, not the best but its my personaly favorite, wen ever u get an add 4 the first time, it will ask if u would like 2 c it or hide it and it u click hide 4ever, it will save the link and u will nvr c it again, and after 2days, no more popups. plus, its free and 4 that price, it makes it the best ad killer around

I updated my ad-aware and ran that. I also got the google toolbar and now the pop-ups and banners are gone.

I agree with LSA ... Fire fox is amazing for pop ups AND banners... I just installed it and it"s a great browser for many other reasons! :)

Pop-up Stopper Free Edition (http://panicware.com/product_psfree.html)
Blocks all pop-ups for me.
