[QUOTE="HappyJoy, post: 1263107, member: 206531"] Thanks all. I did double check the preferences and it is set to block pop-ups. Can AdBlock be used in conjunction with NoScript? Are they basically the same thing but different companies? I got a little paranoid I admit with the Welcome to the Forum thing. I guess I have just been getting so many it makes me suspicious of everything! I did a search for something totally unrelated on my computer the other day and came across this file called "ehlpdhtm.js" saved on my hard drive. It is a 76 page document dedicated to just pop-ups. There is a lot of code and I question it's legitimacy because it has weird statements in it like: "// Handle absurd cases just in case IE flakes // if (size.y < 100) { // size.y = 100;" "// Create the real popup window var wndPopup = window.open(strURL, "BSSCPopup", "titlebar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=300,width=400"); // Close the temporary" "//Create a temporary window first to ensure the real popup comes up on top" Anyhow there is 76 pages of this found under HD-Applications-Omnipage SE. These pop-ups generally occur when I am in my Hotmail account. They do sometimes happen also when I am signing into accounts where I need to enter a password, everything from banking to my Stonyfield Farms points program. Stonyfield is the latest. A pop-up keeps coming up and will not allow me in saying I have an invalid username/password. But mostly hands down, Hotmail. As boring as this sounds, I'm not on "interesting" sites. Nothing against anyone who is, I can just say 100% that isn't the cause which makes me even more curious why it is happening. If I restart the whole system with my disc will I lose my pics and home movies? [/QUOTE]
