Pop up window
Did you get pop up window when you open a site?
Pop up windows were once caused by some malicious programs for advertisement purposes, have been overused and abused to the point where they are extremely annoying for most computer users. Usually, you would get pop up windows you left a website. In fact, some were designed so that windows would keep popping up enven you do not open your Internate broswer. And you finally had no choice but to restart your computer! Today, pop up windows are less used. Instead, respectable advertisers may use ‘fly-ins’ or ‘floating’ windows. These windows are more ‘gentle’ than pop up windows, and you can easily click the small ‘x’ in the top right corner of the fly-in to close it. Some, however, are quite annoying, have no way to close them, and either follow you as you move your mouse or scroll down the page.
Unfortunately, there are many sites that still use this advertisement method, and we are fortunate enough to have pop up blockers to stop them. There are other dangers besides the annoyance with these pop up windows, however. Most pop up windows use a scripting code called JavaScript to operate. JavaScript can be used to control the size of a window, and when it pops up. It can also be used to secretly harvest email addresses and even to send viruses.
A pop up window for no apparent reason is a sign that you may have ‘adware’ on your system. These pop up windows may show up when you are browsing, or even when you are not doing any browsing at all. Pop-unders came in between pop up windows and fly-ins in terms of technological advances – if a pop up window can be considered that. Pop-unders appear behind the web browser, and are not noticed until you either minimize the browser or close it completely – at which time you will be staring at an advertisement. Pop-unders were once able to bypass pop up window blockers. Fly-ins still are able to bypass pop up window blockers.
Because pop-up is so anoying, it also can corrupt your PC. So we’d like to know some ways to stop it. We will set our Internet browser and add some pop up window blockers to stop it. Is it really work? Most time it will work. But if pop-up maker install malicious software to your system via Internet, the window will keep poping up. Simply installing a Internet browser will not work. You need remove the malware! Cleaning the registry is most effecient way, because anware will reside in your registry and alter your registry.
Downloading an effecient registry becomes more and more urgent. I use Registry easy, you can also google some others.
